Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>Former President of Sierra Leone, Ernest Bai Koroma was given a hero\u2019s welcome on Sunday at the Dunamis Internation Gospel Centre in Abuja, Nigeria.<\/b><\/p>\n

Koroma, accompanied by an aide, attended the church service titled \u201cApril 2024 Blessing Sunday Service.\u201d The atmosphere transformed when Senior Pastor Paul Enenche introduced Koroma, with the congregation erupting in enthusiastic applause and cheers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appreciate you for coming Sir. We are happy to recognise and welcome you and we believe that you will take our blessings to your nation.\u201d Pastor Paul Enenche said while greeting the former President.<\/p>\n

Koroma who served Sierra Leone as President from 2007 to 2018 is facing a four-count charge relating to his purported involvement in the overthrow of the Sierra Leonean government of President Julius Maada Bio on November 26, 2023. The charges include treason, misprision of treason, and harboring.<\/p>\n

On January 17, Koroma was granted permission to depart Sierra Leone to Nigeria for urgent medical treatment. The decision follows a successful bail review application submitted by his legal team, seeking a ninety-day allowance for his overseas medical attention.<\/p>\n
