Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>Mohamed Bangura a member of Parliament representing the main opposition All Peoples Congress (APC) party has been removed as Member of the ECOWAS Parliament against his wish.<\/b><\/p>\n

According to Bangura, he blamed the Speaker of the Sierra Leone Parliament Dr. Abass Bundu for wrongfully removing him.<\/p>\n

Bangura initially threatened to file litigation against the Speaker, but later abandoned the decision, saying he now leaves his case to God.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe speaker used the wrong steps to remove me from ECOWAS, I have the right to seek legal redress. But I will not do it. I leave my case to God.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the fifth Parliament of the Republic of Sierra Leone, Hon. Bangura was one of the MPs sent to represent the country in the Community Parliament.<\/p>\n

But his recent removal had long been anticipated after disobeying his Party\u2019s resolution to boycott governance following the disputed June 24 election which the APC claimed was rigged in favor of the ruling Sierra Leone People\u2019s Party.<\/p>\n
