Samuel Sam-Sumana, Sierra Leone’s vice-president, had requested asylum at the
US embassy in Freetown after soldiers surrounded his home following his
expulsion from the ruling party this month.
Sam-Sumana said on Saturday 14th March that “I have fled
my house and am with my wife in a place I cannot disclose, waiting to hear from
the US ambassador, whom I have asked for asylum,” Sam-Sumana told Reuters.
A source at the US embassy, who did not wish to be named,
said Sam-Sumana had entered the building. It was not immediately possible to
confirm that officially.
