Leader of the Sierra Leone delegation to the Community Parliament, Chernor Bah Maju  has said he was not arrested as circulated on social media, but that there was an attempt of arrest as there was a challenge in their national Assembly when government attempted to get a document through without following the correct procedure.

According to the opposition leader when they challenged it, the government party in Parliament, the Majority insisted on pushing it at all cost even when it was not in their favour to do, so he urged MPs from his side to resist it.

“That led to some fracas and eventually they threatened to arrest me as the Leader who incited the fracas, but I was not arrested, nothing is always okay in politics, but things are getting calmer and I am sure it is not anything that would play out, because I did nothing wrong as Leader of the opposition”, he said in an interview at the ongoing Ordinary Session of ECOWAS Parliament in Abuja Nigeria.
