Thirty-seven-year-old businessman Alie Badara Sesay has been remanded at the Male Correctional Centre in Freetown by Magistrate Mustapha Brima Jah of Pademba Road Court No. 1 over allegations of wounding and assault.
Sesay is facing three counts of Conspiracy to Commit a Crime Contrary to Law, Wounding Contrary to Section 20 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861, and Assault Occasioning Actual Bodily Harm Contrary to Section 47 of the same Act.
According to the particulars of the offence, on Tuesday, 14 July 2026, at Spur Loop, Wilberforce, in the Western Area of Freetown, the accused allegedly conspired with other persons unknown to commit the offences of wounding and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
The second and third counts further alleged that on the same date and at the same location, Sesay maliciously wounded and assaulted Anmarie Kamara.
When the charges were read and explained to him in court, Sesay pleaded not guilty to all three counts.
The prosecutor, DPC 18456 Linda Teh, informed the court that the accused had been served with copies of the case and inquiry file. Sesay, who was not legally represented, acknowledged receipt of the documents.
However, Magistrate Jah refused bail, citing the seriousness of the alleged offences, and ordered that the accused be remanded at the Male Correctional Centre.
The matter was adjourned to 18 November 2026 for further proceedings.
