Currently, the government of Sierra Leone imposed curfew from 3 pm and internet blockade.
President Julius Maada Bio said on Twitter;
“As a government, we have the responsibility to protect every citizen of Sierra Leone. What happened today was unfortunate and will be fully investigated.”
“These unscrupulous individuals have embarked on a violent and unauthorised protest which has led to the loss of lives of innocent Sierra Leoneans, including security personnel,” said Vice President Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh in a video address.
It was gathered that citizens are protesting due to the sickening justice system, economic hardship and the frustrating poverty experienced by the citizens.
