Sierra Leone’s former President Ernest Bai Koroma has been charged with four counts of treason as part of investigations into a failed military attempt to overthrow the government in November.

Sierra Leone’s former President Ernest Bai Koroma stood in the dock in a courtroom in the capital, Freetown, as the charges of treason were read out to him.

Some of his supporters in the courtroom cried.

Mr Koroma has previously denied involvement in the attack on a military barracks and a prison in Freetown in November.
