The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has condemned the attempt to break into the military armory in Wilberforce in Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone.
The government of Sierra Leone declared a nationwide curfew on Sunday, November 26 after the unidentified individuals attempted to embark on the illegality.
The suspects “have all been rebuffed,” a statement issued by authorities said.
“The public is assured that our government and state security forces are in control.
“To enable the security forces to continue the process of apprehending the suspects a nationwide curfew is declared with immediate effect across the country. We strongly advise citizens to stay indoors,” the statement stressed
Reacting to this, ECOWAS said in a statement that it “has learnt with utter disgust a plot by certain individuals to acquire arms and disturb the peace and constitutional order in Sierra Leone.
“ECOWAS condemns this act and calls for the arrest and prosecution of all participants in this illegal act. ECOWAS reiterates its zero-tolerance for unconstitutional change of government.”
