Sources say four bidders have so far expressed interest in the stone found by a Christian pastor
Sierra Leone has called off tomorrow’s scheduled auction of the 709-carat diamond – the world’s largest uncut diamond – found in March in the eastern Kono district.
Presidential spokesman Abdulai Bayraytay told me that the new date was 11 May.
He said this was to allow for overseas-based bidders who’ve expressed interest to have a chance and potentially increase the value.
Sources say four bidders have so far expressed interest in the stone found by a Christian pastor, Emmanuel Momoh.
