Bio and wife – Co-conspirators
Prior to the 2012 presidential elections in Sierra Leone, I was vehemently opposed to the candidature of Julius Maada Bio as the flag-bearer of the SLPP in Sierra leone for various reasons. And I warned the people of Sierra Leone of what they will encounter if they voted for the thief in disguise. Julius Maada Bio was part of a group of tyrants who seized power by force in a coup d’etat that saw the overthrow of a democratically elected government in Sierra Leone. They ushered in an era of brutal and barbaric governance that saw arbitrary arrests and summary execution of would-be opposition to their undemocratic practices and presided over the killing of some well renowned Sierra Leoneans whose only crime was to speak against their style of governance.
