ECOWAS condemns plot to truncate peace in Sierra Leone
The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has condemned the plot by some individuals to disturb the peace of Sierra Leoneans.
The condemnation is contained in a statement issued by ECOWAS on Sunday in Abuja.
“The bloc 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 everyone involved in the illegality,“ it said.
ECOWAS reiterated its zero tolerance for unconstitutional change of government.
“We want to reaffirm our commitment to supporting the government and the people of Sierra Leone’s quest to deepen democracy and good governance by consolidating peace and security so as to foster socio-economic development,” it stated.
The Sierra Leonean government has declared a 24-hour nationwide curfew in a proactive step to ensure peace is not tampered with.
