Sierra Leone’s main opposition All People’s Congress (APC) party has requested a diplomatic dialogue with the Guinean ambassador in Sierra Leone for information on party member Abubakar Boxx Konteh. He was arrested a week ago at the Guinea airport in a joint operation with Guinean and Sierra Leonean security. Sierra Leone Information Minister Chernor Bah told VOA Boxx Konteh was arrested on suspicion of involvement with the November 26, 2023 alleged coup attempt and trafficking of the drug kush. Lansana Dumbuya, National Secretary General of the APC, tells VOA’s James Butty, the purpose of the diplomatic dialogue is to appeal to Guinea to ensure that the rights and freedom of Konteh, who is also regional coordinator of the opposition APC party, are protected.
