Security forces have fired teargas around the headquarters of Sierra Leone’s main opposition party, the All Peoples’ Congress, in the capital, Freetown.
Party Officials called the attack unprovoked.
The incident has further heightened an already tense situation as people await the outcome of Saturday’s elections.
The opposition has warned it will not accept any attempt to alter the outcome of the poll.

Attempted assassination and no transparency of the figures entered in the computer vs what was counted
People are counting the figure and the electoral commission is tallying different figure in the computer.

If the results are legitimate an electing result audit should be able to confirm then. If the govt refuses to allow an audit of the results them they can’t be believed
Looks like Sierra Leone is learning from Nigeria.
