Sierra Leone VP ‘Goes Into Hiding’

Sierra Leone’s Vice-President Samuel Sam-Sumana has gone into hiding while he seeks political asylum at the US embassy in the capital, Freetown.

Mr Sam-Sumana told the BBC he and his wife fled their home after “a tip-off” that soldiers were surrounding it.

The move comes a week after his expulsion from the ruling party.

Two weeks ago, Mr Sam-Sumana said he was putting himself in quarantine for 21 days after one of his bodyguards died of the Ebola virus.

Police and army sources confirmed to the BBC’s Umaru Fofana in Freetown that troops were sent to the vice-president’s residence on Saturday morning.

They said the troops were dispatched to withdraw Mr Sam-Sumana’s security detail, but would not say whose orders they were acting on.

However, Information Minister Alpha Kanu told the BBC that the soldiers merely went to Mr Sam-Sumana’s house to “strengthen the quarantine”.

At the rate lungu is going of controlling the police and trying to fix those that offer dissenting views I wouldn’t be surprised if he turned against his so called first female vice lady. It all starts with small things such as tryin to fix your dpp. Vote upnd to avoid such an embarrassment in the future.
