Max Jimmy, Expo Times, ATTACKED
Jimmy, a staff writer for Expo Times, was assaulted by Special Security Department (SSD) officers in front of Vice President Joe Demby's office as he was leaving the premises. Jimmy had gone to Demby's office to confirm information alleging that a deputy minister, Theresa Koroma, had granted a nongovernment employee the use of an official government vehicle. SSD officers refused to allow him to speak with Koroma but referred him to Permanent Secretary Aiah Ngongor to get the necessary permission. Ngongor refused to speak to Jimmy about the alleged case.
