Colonel Bangura condemned the act, emphasizing that it aims to tarnish the RSLAF\u2019s good image and credibility. He issued a strong warning to social media bloggers and other platforms, urging them to refrain from inciting soldiers, causing panic, and spreading misinformation in the interest of national security.<\/p>\n<p>Colonel Bangura underscored the RSLAF\u2019s commitment to professionalism and upholding constitutional responsibilities, assuring the public that the force remains law-abiding and ready to defend the nation. He emphasized that any publication suggesting otherwise is misleading and designed to distract the RSLAF from its duties.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the public was informed that a social media post claiming \u201cRSLAF Presidential Guards and the OSDs have volunteered for a cleaning exercise, especially around the Central Business District (CBD) on Wednesday, January 17th, 2024,\u201d is fake and misleading.<\/p>\n<p>RSLAF urged the public to remain calm and continue with their normal activities, reassuring them of the RSLAF\u2019s commitment to national security and professionalism.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/sierra-leone\">Sierra-Leone<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Sierra-Leone.
