Following @Soe_Marrah's post, the Supreme Court extraordinarily issued a #benchwarrant suspending his rights of practice before courts in Sierra Leone & suspending the arrest of lawyers in court premises. They declared him #WantedDeadOrAlive
The irony is that this order was issued on the same day that Sierra Leone's @PresidentBio abolished the crime of criminal defamation in Sierra Leone.
