Sacked Vice President of Sierra Leone who was also a memeber of the APC Sam Sumana's
lawyers have recently concluded filing their case at the ECOWAS Court in a bid to chalenge his sudden dismissal from office in March 2015 as Vice President.
I their application, his lawyers request that the ECOWAS Court order Sierra Leone to pay $ 210 Million as compensation for character damages and legal cost. They are also asking that he be reinstated as Vice President of the country.
His removal from office, the Supreme Court's ruling, and the appointment of Victor Bockarie For as Vice President should be declared illegal, null and void.
Sam-Sumana was expelled from the ruling All People’s Congress party in March 2015 and accused of lying about his faith and educational qualification. he was also accused of anti-party activities.
He has been living out of Sierra Leone for exactly one year.
This is the third time Sierra Leone has been brought before the ECOWAS Court under Ernest Bai Koroma’s presidency.
Lebanese businessman, Mohamed Wanza sought redress over a questionable gunboat deal he went into with the NPRC junta. A former police officer Mohamed El-Tayyib Bah also challenged his dismissal from the force. Both men won by default after the government failed to represent itself.
