Sankoh was born in Sierra Leone but grew up in the Netherlands. He didn't play for the Leone Stars for a long time for different reasons, among a claim he would dislike long flights.
On 8 September 2012, at the age of 29, he finally made his debut for the West African nation in a qualification match against Tunisia for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations. The Leone Stars were just slightly eliminated and Sankoh got a red card in the second match against the same team on 13 October.
