After the execution of Bangura, a group of soldiers loyal to the executed general held a mutiny in Freetown and other parts of the country in opposition to Stevens' government. Dozens of soldiers were arrested and convicted by a court martial in Freetown for their participation in the mutiny against the president. Among the soldiers arrested was a little-known army Corporal, Foday Sankoh, a strong Bangura supporter. Corporal Sankoh was convicted and jailed for seven years at the Pademba Road Prison in Freetown.
