During the match, which the president attended, a group of five bodyguards entered a press area in the stadium and told all journalists there to leave, citing possible threats to the president, according to Frances Barnard, a reporter with the government-owned Sierra Leone Broadcasting Corporation, who spoke to CPJ via messaging app. When Barnard refused to leave, two of the guards hit her with their hands and guns, while another pulled her out of the room, causing her to fall down a staircase.
