Sierra Leone's anti-corruption commission says it is considering issuing a warrant of the arrest for former President Ernest Bai- Koroma after he failed to comply with a summons for questioning. Koroma failed to appear before the country's anti-graft agency at its headquarters in the capital Freetown on Thursday because of what his lawyers said are concerns over his safety. The summons is the latest move in a campaign by Koroma's successor, President Julius Maada Bio, to investigate the previous administration which is alleged to have taken the country to the brink of economic collapse. Koroma denies any wrongdoing and has said the corruption allegations are part of a long-running smear campaign.
