"ECOWAS is ready and committed to supporting the people of Sierra Leone, including to strengthen their national security and the deployment, if need be, of regional elements,"” Touray said.
The national security advisor to the Ecowas' chair hailed the leadership of Bio and his government in stopping what he called a "very unfortunate incident."
The envoys' visit, in an apparent show of solidarity for Sierra Leone's government, follows a deadly attack that shook the capital Freetown on Sunday 26 November 2023.
The gunmen exchanged fire for several hours with security forces.
The government attributed the attack on a military armory to "renegade soldiers".
