Sellas Tetteh Extends Sierra Leon Stay

Ghanaian Trainer, Sellas Tetteh is set to continue as caretaker coach of the Sierra Leone national football team after his loan agreement was extended.

The former FIFA Under-20 World Cup winner will take charge of Sierra Leone’s upcoming AFCON 2017 qualifier double header against Gabon.

The two games are on the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying schedule but no points are on offer as Gabon are hosting the January show piece.

“After the Gabon matches we will decide whether to make it permanent or not,” Abu Bakarr Kamara, of the Sierra Leone Football Association, told BBC Sport.

The Ghana Football Association last month replaced Tetteh as coach of their under-20 side with the appointment of Mas-Ud Didi Dramani.

Tetteh, who has previously coached Black Stars and Rwanda, was initially loaned to Sierra Leone for three months after the search for permanent coach was put on hold by the football association.

That initial loan expired last October after Leone Stars were eliminated in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers by Chad.

Sierra Leone Refugees Rendered Homeless In Takoradi

Scores of Sierra Leonean refugees have been displaced in Takoradi in the Western region after their home was demolished.

 

The Sierra Leoneans acquired the property when they relocated to Ghana in the late 1990s.

 

A court ordered the destruction of the property to repay a loan reportedly secured by their mother from an acquaintance.

 

The Sierra Leoneans are, however, crying foul over the handling of their petition to the Chief Justice to overturn the court order.

 

Spokesperson for the group Daniel Tahiru Cole told Starr News an injustice is being perpetuated against them.

 

“ I can never stand and watch this injustice that is going on. They have come to pull the property down telling me that I can send this case to anywhere that I like, but I know that justice in Ghana will prevail through the chief Justice” .
