Mohamed Moriba, a politician, former military officer, and Southern Province Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the All People’s Congress (APC), has reappeared before Magistrate John Manso Fornah of Pademba Road Court No. 2 in Freetown on charges of incitement contrary to law.
According to the particulars of offence, on 27 December 2025, at Kamalo Village in the Karina Judicial District, North-East Province, the accused allegedly created and circulated an audio and video recording containing inciting messages intended to cause mayhem, disorder, chaos, and unrest in the country. The material was reportedly published on a TikTok account identified as “Salone Gossip Hub.”
No plea was taken after the charge was read and explained to the defendant, as the matter is still at the committal stage of proceedings.
Counsel for the defence, C. Kamara Esq., after several bail applications and consultations with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), successfully secured bail on behalf of the defendant.
Magistrate Fornah subsequently granted bail, and the matter was adjourned to July 2026 for further hearing.
