In a dramatic turn of events, the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces (RSLAF) Quick Reaction Force (QRF) engaged in a fierce gun battle yesterday evening, resulting in the death of two fugitive officers, Captain Aba Senesie and Captain TL Konteh. The duo was previously implicated in the November 26 coup attempt and had been on the run prior to today’s incident.
Major Yayah Brima, Media Operations Officer at the Headquarters, Joint Force Command, confirmed that both officers returned with intentions to execute another coup. The confrontation occurred in the vicinity of Cockerill Barrack, where the Quick Reaction Force swiftly intervened to prevent further unrest.
Details surrounding the incidents leading to the fatal encounter are still emerging, and further updates are expected to be provided by military officials later. The authorities remain on high alert as the situation develops and emphasize their commitment to maintaining stability and security in the region.
Residents are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities as the military continues its efforts to safeguard the nation against further coup attempts. More details to follow
