Former Sierra Leone’s President Faces ‘Coup’ Probe

In Sierra Leone, former President Ernest Bai Koroma is expected to make yet another appearing today Thursday before the police for questioning about his alleged role in the alleged coup attempt on November 26.

According to the French new agency, AFP, the government announced on Saturday that the former president had been placed under house arrest. Joseph Fitzgerald Kamara, lawyer for former President Koroma, tells VOA’s James Butty, the former president has been cooperating with what he calls an almost 25-hour interrogation.
