According to a source, Leather Boot and the other attackers had been in Freetown for over 5 days before to the assault.


According to a source, LeatherBoot was one of the  main attackers who sought to topple the government and subsequently received a gunshot  on his feet from a crossfire and later passed away.

According to a source, Leather Boot and the other attackers had been in Freetown for over 5 days before to the assault.  
The narrative encompasses a broad scope, but let us confine the elucidation to the demise of the notorious Leather Boot.  
Leather Boot and four additional individuals were transported by a driver who is allegedly named Janneh.   The individual referred to as Janneh is employed as a driver and is responsible for driving one of the high-ranking military officials.   

The source continues: 
He lives in a building within the logistics section of Murray Town barracks as his residence. 
Janneh purportedly presented a compelling justification to his boss, who, in good faith, granted him permission to leave.  

Janneh had previously colluded with the attackers, and he took advantage of that situation to take LeatherBoot and four additional individuals to the logistic section of Murray Town Barracks on Saturday.  

LeatherBoot and four additional individuals stationed at the site were equipped with weapons, prepared for combat activities to commence in the Armoury.   

While Janneh was escorting the attackers within the premises, he deceived the gate guards by falsely claiming that he and the five camouflaged assailants were present to collect water. 

Janneh managed to confine the 5 attackers within the premises before fleeing, leaving his whereabouts both currently and previously undisclosed.  

Following the execution of the attacks by the assailants at Wilberforce barracks and Cockrill, there was a disclosure of information indicating the possibility of individuals being held covertly within a location at the transport facility.   A search was executed, resulting in the identification of the location where they were concealed.   

When the security personnel attempted to breach their hiding location, the assailants commenced firing.   LeatherBoot fatally shot 2 security officers.   The security officers responded by opening fire and successfully eliminated three of the attackers.   LeatherBoot sustained a gunshot wound to his foot and subsequently collapsed after enduring multiple gunshots fired from behind.   

One of the attackers successfully scaled a barrier and concealed himself within a civilian compound.   The citizen mistakenly believed that the assailant who leapt was a military attempting to execute tactical manoeuvres for unknown purposes.  

Subsequently, the Security sectors received reports from citizens regarding the presence of an unidentified individual who was attempting to conceal their identity.   The state authorities promptly retaliated and apprehended him.  

LeatherBoot reportedly died as a result of gunshot wounds sustained during a crossfire. 

Contrary to the claims made by certain individuals on social media, LeatherBoot was not acquired off a beach and murdered

EU Budget Support Delay: Government Rejects Link to Judicial Case, Clarifies Reason for 2026 Disbursement Shift

Government Clarifies EU Budget Support Disbursement to Sierra Leone Note: According to the Information and Civic Education Minister.  The Government of Sierra Leone has clarified reports linking the European Union’s 2026 budget-support disbursement to ongoing discussions between Sierra Leone and the Kingdom of the Netherlands on judicial cooperation. According to the Government, the European Commission formally communicated its decision regarding the 2026 disbursement in July. The reasons provided, the Government said, related to the timing of Sierra Leone’s request to amend the Financing Agreement and the resulting difficulty of completing the required processes within the 2026 reporting cycle. As a result, the European Commission proposed rescheduling the 2026 and 2027 disbursements to 2027 and 2028 respectively, with the targets for the 2027 disbursement already agreed. The Government acknowledged that the postponement of the 2026 disbursement represents a setback, b...

Musa Tarawalie and the SLPP: What Could Be Behind the Growing Political Tensions?

Why Musa Tarawalie May Be Facing Friction Within the SLPP Opinion Note: This article represents my personal opinion and interpretation of recent political developments. It should not be taken as established fact or as a definitive account of the reasons behind the situation involving Hon. Musa Tarawalie and the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP). The question of why Hon. Musa Tarawalie appears to be facing difficulties within the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) requires an understanding of the broader political calculations ahead of the 2028 general elections. In my view, the SLPP is determined to retain political power in 2028, and there have been indications of deliberate strategies aimed at achieving that objective through democratic and relatively smooth political processes. One of the arguments supporting this view is President Julius Maada Bio’s public assertion that, in Sierra Leone’s democratic political history, no political party has successfully won three...
