Sekou was arrested and detained months ago on allegations of subversion but he denied it. His force oversaw the premature departure of ex-president Chares Taylor from power in 2003.
Local media is quoting a publicist of Conneh – Mark Jabateh – that the former presidential candidate in the 2005 Liberian elections was released upon the intervention of the ECOWAS through Sierra Leonean president Earnest Bai Koromah.
According to the report, Conneh landed in Sierra Leone upon his release for medical treatment but was asked by that country to leave on security grounds.
With Conneh yet to arrive in Liberia, his next destination remains unknown. While, in jail, some of Conneh’s supporters in Liberia pleaded with the Liberian government to intercede his release from prison to no avail.
