Sierra Leone First Lady Fatima Bio Meets Amara Jambai Kanneh After SLPP Chairmanship Election
Sierra Leone’s First Lady, Dr. Fatima Maada Bio, has extended a warm welcome to Engineer Amara Jambai Kanneh and his team after his recent contest for the position of SLPP National Chairman.
The courtesy visit, held at the First Lady’s office, was described as a gesture of mutual respect and maturity within the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP). In her remarks, Fatima Maada Bio praised Kanneh’s decision to visit and used the opportunity to remind party supporters that “election is not war.”
She stressed that democracy thrives on peace, tolerance, and respect for outcomes, encouraging members of the SLPP to remain united despite internal leadership contests.
The meeting has been seen as a strong sign of reconciliation within the party, with the First Lady playing a unifying role in bridging divides. Beyond the SLPP, the event carries a broader message of political harmony and the need for leaders in Sierra Leone to prioritize peace and national interest above rivalry.
Oba Oloyede Pleads Guilty in $4.2M COVID-19 Relief Fraud Case
Oba Joseph Oloyede, known as the Apetu of Ipetumodu, formally pleaded guilty in a U.S. federal court on April 21, 2025, admitting involvement in a $4.2 million fraud involving COVID-19 relief funds under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) schemes. He acknowledged the pandemic’s unprecedented strain—particularly his health fears—but clarified that “COVID-19 is not an excuse, but it is a factor.” Peoples Gazette NigeriaWikipedia
Assets Seized as Part of U.S. Legal Action
U.S. authorities have already seized assets related to the case, including a property in Medina County, Ohio, and over $96,000 from business accounts linked to Oloyede. After his arrest in May 2024, he was granted bail and released in February 2025 when he surrendered his passports and met court conditions. Peoples Gazette NigeriaTechpressionWikipedia

The prolonged absence of the monarch since early 2024 left his community in Ipetumodu unsettled, particularly after he missed several key cultural festivals. His removal from traditional duties sparked conversations about leadership gaps and pending succession issues back home.
