National Secretary General of the All Peoples Congress, (APC) Party has described the update of the country’s chief minister as misleading.
“Based on the APC list of detainees re resolution 4(A), the director of prisons presented details of detainees’ current locations and status. In verifying that information, we noticed discrepancies in the list submitted. The Chief Minister’s Information to the public is misleading,’’ Lansana Dumbuya said.
It could be recalled, the Chief Minister, David Moinina Sengeh on X Twitter: “Out of 318 names submitted by the APC for resolution 4, only 15 are confirmed to be in custody- the rest either escaped during the Nov 26 failed coup, or have served jail terms, paid fines and released based on orders of the courts. 51 were never in custody & 9 were duplicated.”
Many Sierra Leoneans are curious about the whereabouts of many citizens who have been in detention by the government on politically motivated issues since 2018.
