Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>COUP FEARS GRIP PRESIDENT BIO AND SLPP GOVERNMENT
\nA leaked Ministry of Defence memo has exposed that Coup fears have gripped President Maada Bio and the SLPP.<\/p>\n

With military coups now popping up here and there in West Africa, and President Bio and his the SLPP government performing horrendously in power , with corruption, human rights abuses , judiciary interference, harassment of opponents, cost of living and suffering going through the roof in Sierra Leone, President Bio is now afraid of even his own shadow.
\nAs a consequence, the SLPP government has restricted the movements of military officers. Even annual, compassionate and welfare leave are being restricted . The memo explained that these measures have been taken because of the prevailing situation in the subregion.
\nHow such a very sensitive and confidential document would be leaked to the public shows that even within President Bio\u2019s government, animosity for him and his government is high.<\/p>\n
