The ECOWAS has called for the arrest and prosecution of all the participants in the disturbances in Freetown.
“The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has learnt with utter disgust a plot by certain individuals to acquire arms and disturb the peace and constitutional order in Sierra Leone. ECOWAS condemns this act and calls for the arrest and prosecution of all participants in this illegal act,” ECOWAS said in a statement on Sunday.
“ECOWAS reiterates its zero-tolerance for unconstitutional change of Government. ECOWAS further underscores its commitment to supporting the government and people of Sierra Leone to deepen democracy and good governance, consolidate peace and security as well as foster socio-economic development,” the regional bloc emphasized.
