A 28-year-old security guard, Godwill Brown, has made another appearance before Magistrate John Manso Fornah of Pademba Road Court No. 2 on two counts of larceny in a dwelling house, contrary to Section 13(a) of the Larceny Act 1916.
According to the particulars of offence, on Wednesday, 18 March 2026, at No. 42 Regent Road, Wilberforce, in the Western Area of Freetown, the defendant allegedly, with intent to steal, broke and entered the house of Nancy Kamara and stole US$30,000, €17,070, and £710, all totalling Le 1,212,142 (equivalent), property of Nancy Kamara.
Count two further states that on the same date and at the same location, the defendant allegedly broke and entered the same dwelling house and stole US$5,000, equivalent to Le 118,500, property of Haja Umu Jalloh.
The prosecutor, Deputy Superintendent of Police Sorie, informed the court that the defendant had been served with a copy of the case file. He also requested a short adjournment to allow a subpoena to be served on an absent prosecution witness.
Magistrate Fornah refused bail and ordered that the defendant be remanded at the male correctional facility in Freetown.
The matter was adjourned to 28 April 2026 for further hearing.
