The Guinean Government has reportedly declared Mr. Alimamy Bangura, the Sierra Leonean Ambassador to Guinea, persona non grata and ordered him to leave the country immediately. This is because of suitcases of cocaine found in a vehicle belonging to the Sierra Leone embassy in Guinea.
This comes after the Government of Sierra Leone issued a press statement stating that they have recalled the Ambassador full investigations.
The conflicting statements from the two governments have caused controversy, with Sierra Leone’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Timothy Kabba claiming that the Ambassador was urgently summoned due to a troubling incident. The incident is believed to be related to prominent businessman Alhaji Bah, who has been implicated in the cocaine-related scandal.
While the Sierra Leone government has not disclosed the identity of the second individual involved, sources in Guinea suggest that he may be connected to a high-profile Sierra Leone businessman with interests in real estate and other industries in Freetown, as well as strong political ties.
