"Sierra Leone's Ex-President Koroma Faces Treason Charges for Alleged Coup Involvement"
TL;DR Summary
Former Sierra Leone President Ernest Bai Koroma has been charged with treason related to an attempted coup in November, where gunmen attacked a military armoury and freed prisoners. Despite a proposed exile deal by Ecowas, which the Sierra Leone government did not support, Koroma denies involvement. His lawyer criticizes the charges as politically motivated. Koroma, who was president for 11 years until 2018, has been under house arrest since the coup investigation began.
