Sierra Leone's President's Regime is following in Siaka Stevens' Footsteps
It was classic during the days of late President Siaka Stevens of Sierra Leone. A critic who was proving to be too much of a thorn in the flesh, would get set-up with one crime or the other and taken to the Pademba Road Prisons to languish with the fullest support of the corrupt Judiciary. Well, the current President Ernest Bai Koroma had promised that he would be taking the country back to the days when his mentor, Siaka Stevens used to rule and this is what is now happening. Critics and Non-conformists are being set up on a daily basis. The case of the Publisher's bodyguard is just one of numerous such examples that abound today in Sierra Leone. The only difference is that this one has gone awry at the hands of the Koroma Regime. CLICK ABOVE LINK FOR PHOTOGRAPHIC DISPLAY OF DELIBERATE PUBLIC INCITEMENT FROM THE PRESIDENTIAL TEAM.
