West Africa regional bloc ECOWAS has approved the deployment of a security mission to Sierra Leone. The move comes after an attempted coup against the government of President Julius Mada Bio in November.
Sierra Leone's police chief said on Tuesday that ex-president Ernest Bai Koroma was a "suspect" in the organization of the November 26 events, described by the government as an "attempted coup".
Koroma, who led Sierra Leone from 2007 to 2018, has been summoned for questioning by the police.
West Africa has seen six successful coups since 2023 and several unsuccessful ones.
