The Office of National Security (ONS) has refuted a negative publication against Leone Rock Metal Group referencing a letter purportedly originated from ONS as false and totally untrue.
The institution addressed the clarification provided by the Office of National Security regarding a publication accusing Leone Rock Metal Group of illegal activities at the Tonkolili Mines. The ONS refuted the specific claims made in the publication, highlighting that the letter mentioned was inaccurately reported and did not originate from their office.
Abdulai Caulker, head of the ONS, emphasized the importance of conducting thorough investigations and gathering all sides of the story before making any accusations. He explained that the purpose of the communication with Leone Rock was to request a meeting to discuss the information they had received.
