COCORIOKO tries to maintain very high standards when it comes to the production and dissemination of news. We have zero tolerance for fake news. We are therefore obliged to inform our readers that the blood on the floors in the videos shared by the Freetown Mayor Yvonne Aki Sawyerr on the attack by the security forces in Freetown today was fake.
The Mayor herself made the concession later on in the day on another video.
Thus, though it was confirmed that the security did open fire and an eyewitness was heard telling the Mayor and onlookers that three people in all lost their lives, the blood on the floor on the inside and outside of the building was fake.
