Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>During a recent press briefing, Presidential Spokesperson Alpha Khan addressed concerns regarding the current nationwide curfew, emphasizing its significance in safeguarding the lives of Sierra Leoneans.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Khan asserted that the imposed curfew, initiated following an attempted coup that targeted the capital, played a pivotal role in uncovering and deterring assailants. He highlighted that the curfew aided security forces in thwarting the attack and apprehending numerous suspects.<\/p>\n

Comparing the present curfew to a potential state of emergency, Khan underscored the curtailment of personal freedoms and potential suspensions of certain laws under a state of emergency.<\/p>\n

\u201cState of Emergency or Curfew, which one do you prefer?\u201d Khan questioned, asserting that while complaints about the curfew persist, it remains a preferable alternative to the stringent measures associated with a state of emergency.<\/p>\n

Appealing to Sierra Leoneans for patience and understanding, Khan urged citizens to support the president\u2019s efforts in preserving peace.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that allowing the current measures to prevail would enable the president to execute his duties effectively during his second term in office, ultimately benefiting the people of Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n
