The Media Department of the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) in a Press Release dated 5th July , 2021 and signed by Ibrahim Kamara as Head of Media and Marketing (SLFA), Thomas Daddy Brima as President of SLFA and Chris Kamara as General Secretary, categorically stated that the attention of the Sierra Leone Football Association has been drawn to a certain list of Leone Stars players apparently written on a fake SLFA letterhead in which the writer suggests the mode of sharing the money from His Excellency Brigadier (Rtd) Julius Maada Bio’s promise which is clearly contrary to the pronouncement made by the President, which states that each player in the squad against Benin is entitled to One Hundred Million Leones (Le 100,000,000).
According to the Media Department, in view of the above, the Sierra Leone Football Association would like to state that the said document has been criminally drafted on a fake SLFA letterhead with no signature of any official of the federation.
It further stated that the SLFA is in full compliance with His Excellency the President’s pronouncement and are fully committed to ensuring that such pronouncement is upheld and implemented accordingly.
Also mentioned was that the list officially presented by the SLFA to the National Sports Authority contains, among other names, the names of Musa Noah Kamara (Musa Tombo) and Saidu Mansaray (Malian).
The Media Department highlighted how SLFA would like to kindly ask the general public, especially Leone Stars players, to discountenance the document mentioned as investigations are currently ongoing to bring out whoever that is behind such deceptive and criminal act of impersonation.
It concluded by informing members of the public to please feel free to contact the SLFA Head of Media and Marketing on the following contact details for any further clarifications; +232 34 706503 slfamediadept@gmail.com
