Sierra Leone, December 11th, 2023 – The government of Sierra Leone is on the hunt for Sallieu Bai Sesay, the brother of CPLE Yapo Sesay, who was allegedly involved in a failed coup attempt on November 26th, 2023.
According to reports, CPLE Yapo Sesay and several others were part of a crew that attempted to overthrow the country’s President, Dr. Julius Maada Bio. The coup, which took place on November 26th, was ultimately unsuccessful, and the government has since issued a wanted notice for CPLE Yapo Sesay.

In the aftermath of the failed coup, the government has stated that some of the individuals involved have been killed, while others have been jailed. However, CPLE Yapo Sesay remains at large, and the authorities are now focusing their efforts on finding his brother, Sallieu Bai Sesay, who is believed to be connected to the incident.
The government has not provided any further details on the specific roles played by CPLE Yapo Sesay and Sallieu Bai Sesay in the failed coup attempt. However, the hunt for Sallieu Bai Sesay is ongoing, and the public has been urged to come forward with any information that could lead to his apprehension.
This latest development is a stark reminder of the political instability that has plagued Sierra Leone in recent years, and the government’s determination to maintain its grip on power.
The authorities are keen to determine whether he has returned to Sierra Leone or remains a fugitive. The urgency to locate Sallieu Bai Sesay arises from the need to unravel the mystery surrounding CPLE Yapo Sesay’s disappearance and his potential ties to the failed coup attempt, urging the populace to provide any relevant information to aid in his apprehension.
