This has forced the ICC to issue the stern stance to order the Fly, Fly Bio to return home. Latest information reaching this newspaper says the illegal President Maada Bio has been ordered to return home immediately otherwise, an international bench warrant would be issued for his arrest. ICC letter recently issued to Bio contains this stern warning to come back to Sierra Leone. (Photo: Peacekeepers are on the way to Sierra Leone.

The ICC letter also contains warning that Bio should make sure the ECOWAS Forces coming to the country must be protected. They advised him that any soldier injured or threatened would not be tolerated. The ICC letter strictly stated that they will not allow Maada Bio to hold Sierra Leone hostage anymore to delay the coming of ECOWAS Forces. Maada Bio is in serious trouble after the ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan KC gave him the letter in the US.

There has been a delay in arrival and deployment of the ECOWAS Stabilisation Forces following the end of the deadline yesterday. But the International Criminal Court ICC has pounced again. It is important to know that Maada Bio’s absence or presence in the country will make no difference. The only reason why the global partners have ordered Fly Fly Bio to return home is for ECOWAS protocol purposes.

Most Sierra Leoneans are feeling disappointed that the ECOWAS soldiers have not landed on time, but voters should be hopeful that the ECOWAS troops will arrive anytime now. Abuja sources say nobody or institution would stop the ECOWAS forces from deploying in Sierra Leone. There is light at the end of the tunnel for the restoration of constitutional rule in Sierra Leone.
