Ex-President of Sierra Leone Ernest Bai Koroma has been asked questions by the police in the capital city, Freetown, about a failed coup.
Mr Koroma, who led the country for 10 years, arrived at the criminal investigations department around 10:00 local time with a lot of police and military guards.
It’s not known how long the questioning lasted, but the ex-president said on social media that it would continue on Saturday.
He said that he keeps an open mind and trusts that the legal process and rules will be fair.
The police called Mr Koroma on Thursday and asked him to come in for questioning within 24 hours, as part of their investigation into the failed coup attempt on 26 November.
Last month, there was an attack in Sierra Leone. Gunmen went to a military base, a prison, and other places. They let about 2,000 prisoners go and killed more than 20 people. The government said the gunmen were trying to take over the government.
71 people have been arrested, including 45 soldiers, 7 police officers, and 13 regular people.
