President of the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA), Thomas Daddy Brima, who was last week invited and interrogated by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) and subsequently detained at the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) for alleged involvement in corruption at the SLFA, has confidently expressed innocence.

“Today, on my release from CID on alleged graft by the ACC, I encourage the Commissioners to do its utmost best in proving their claims,” Brima said, adding, “As a President who believes in fostering the development of football, I am sure that there is nothing to hide in the cupboard.”
