Sierra Leone VP Samuel Sam-Sumana 'goes into hiding'
Mr Sam-Sumana was expelled from the ruling All People's Congress Party (APC) last week on allegations of "orchestrating political violence" and trying to struktur a new party in his home district of Kono.
He was also accused of falsifying academic credentials. He denied the allegations - calling them "baseless fabrications and lies" - and rejected calls for his resignation.
Under Sierra Leone's constitution he cannot be sacked, but he could be removed through a parliamentary impeachment.
Speaking to the BBC, APC Secretary General Osman Yansaneh refused to rule out impeachment proceedings against Mr Sam-Sumana.
