"I'm going to comply with the police invitation." The Freetown mayor declared


On Monday, September 3, 2022, Mayor Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr announced that she would accept the offer from the police. According to a story released today by Bloomberg news, she denied taking part in the demonstrations on Wednesday, August 10, 2022. 

Following the arrest of Councillor Sheku Turay at the Lungi International Airport, police claim they are looking into allegations that Mayor Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr interfered with their performance of their responsibilities and displayed disorderly conduct within a police station.

When the initial invitation was sent to Freetown's mayor, her legal team informed the police that their client was ill and would be unable to accept the invitation as planned.
The police issued another summons, this time requiring that the mayor appear at the CID headquarters on Monday, March 3, 2022.
