A 28-year-old security guard, Godwill Brown, has made another appearance before Magistrate John Manso Fornah at 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 broke and entered the house of Nancy Kamara with intent to steal. He is accused of stealing $30,000, €17,070, and £710, with a total equivalent value stated as Le 1,212,142, 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 residence and stole $5,000, equivalent to Le 118,500, property of Haja Umu Jalloh.
The prosecutor, Deputy Superintendent of Police Sorie, informed the court that the prosecution had already served the defendant with a copy of the case file.
The defendant acknowledged receipt of the documents and informed the court that he wished to cross-examine the investigator.
Magistrate Fornah refused bail, citing the nature and seriousness of the offence, and ordered that the defendant be remanded at the male correctional facility in Freetown.
The matter was adjourned to 6 May 2026 for further hearing.
