A senior government official, speaking on condition of anonmity Wednesday dismissed social media reports that government of Sierra Leone had refused entry of the 20 tankers en route to Sierra Leone for emergency supply of gasoline. The source said efforts are ongoing to finalize paperwork with border authorities in Sierra Leone to allow the passage of the tankers. A FrontPageAfrica correspondent in the Bo Waterside area counted some 20 trucks moving toward Sierra Leone Tuesday night and a senior administration official confirmed on condition of anonymity that the trucks were headed to Sierra Leone. It is unclear whether those expectations are linked to the 20 tankers making its way into Sierra Leone. So, some of our neighboring countries, have partnerships with some of the importers here – so we are using that route.
