RUF says Golley no longer its spokesman

    ABIDJAN

    Omrie Golley is no longer RUF spokesman, legal representative or roaming ambassador, Sierra Leone News (SLN) web site reported an RUF news release as saying on Tuesday.

    Gibril Massaquoi, special assistant to RUF leader Foday Sankoh, was quoted in a local newspaper as saying that Golley had been sacked for "collecting monies on behalf of the RUF". Golley told the SLN from Croatia on Tuesday that the decision to relinquish his role as spokesman had come about by "mutual consent," adding that he intended to register a new political party to contest presidential and parliamentary elections in Sierra Leone.
