A Sierra Leone minister said the country had suffered an attempted coup, by bodyguards of former President Ernest Bai Koroma. "The attempt failed, and plenty of the leaders are either in police custody or on the run. We will try to capture them and bring them to the full force of the laws of Sierra Leone." And some were military officers, either retired or serving," army chief of defence staff Lavahun told the news conference. Sierra Leone's main opposition All People Congress of the former president, condemned the attacks in a statement.
