Abdul Kargbo Urges Government Action Ahead of European Parliament Vote on Leijdekkers Case

Opposition Leader in Parliament Abdul Kargbo has called on the Sierra Leone government to take diplomatic and legal action as the European Parliament prepares to consider measures linked to convicted Dutch drug trafficker Jos Leijdekkers.

Kargbo raised the concern in a Facebook post ahead of the European Parliament’s expected vote Thursday, Sept. 17, on proposals concerning countries accused of failing to cooperate in efforts against organised crime and wanted drug traffickers.
