The National Secretary General of the All People’s Congress (APC), Lansana Dumbuya, has in a tweet corrected what seems to be a misinformation peddled by the Chief Minister, David Moinina Sengeh, on Twitter.

According to Sengeh, “Out of 318 names submitted by the APC for Resolution 4, only 15 are confirmed to be in custody—the rest either escaped during the Nov 26 failed coup, or have served jail terms, paid fines and released based on orders of the courts. 51 were never in custody &9 were duplicated.”

In reply, Lawyer Lansana Dumbuya notes that, “Based on the APC list of detainees Resolution 4 (a), Director of Prisons details of detainees’ current locations & status. In verifying that information, we have noticed discrepancies in the list submitted. The Chief Minister’s information to the public is misleading.”
