The High Court in Freetown is expected to deliver a crucial ruling today in a case brought by two disqualified presidential aspirants of the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA), just days ahead of the highly anticipated Elective Congress scheduled for August 2, 2025.
Disqualified candidates Thomas Daddy Brima, the current SLFA President, and Aminata Bangura have jointly filed an injunction seeking to halt the upcoming Congress. They appeared before Justice Alfred Ganda earlier this week, challenging the legitimacy of their disqualification by the SLFA Ethics Committee.
The Committee, in its report, cited multiple breaches uncovered during integrity checksranging from the submission of falsified documents to inconsistencies in official records and non-compliance with established screening procedures. The review was conducted in line with Articles 60 and 63 of the SLFA Constitution and the 2020 Ethics Code and Regulations.
Supporters argue that Kamara and Aminata are being unfairly scapegoated, despite having been cleared of any wrongdoing by the Ethics Committee.
“The Ethics Committee not only absolved Kamara of all allegations but also imposed fines on several petitioners for filing what it described as ‘frivolous and malicious complaints,’” a source close to the matter said, adding that these developments point to a concerted effort to undermine the integrity of the process.
Stakeholders are now urging all parties to respect the decisions of the SLFA Ethics Committee and allow the Congress to proceed as planned, emphasizing that stability and credibility within the football body are vital for the sport’s growth in the country.
“As we await today’s ruling, we hope justice will prevail and unity will be restored within the football family,” a veteran football administrator noted. “Delaying or halting the Congress could deepen existing divisions and pose further risks to the development of football in Sierra Leone.”
