Twenty-eight-year-old Alhaji Kallon, a manager at Blue Moon Ice Cream Company, has been remanded at the Male Correctional Facility in Freetown after appearing before Magistrate Mustapha Briama Jah of Pademba Road Court No. 1 on three counts of alleged embezzlement, contrary to Section 17(1) (b) of the Larceny Act of 1916.
According to the particulars of the offence, in December 2025, at Blue Moon Ice Cream Company on Sunday Street, Calaba Town, in the Eastern Area of Freetown, Kallon allegedly embezzled Le 7,863 entrusted to him on behalf of the company.
Count two alleged that, on the same date and at the same location, he embezzled Le 88,177 received from the account of Blue Moon Ice Cream Company.
The third count further alleged that Kallon embezzled an additional Le 7,786 received on behalf of the company.
The total amount involved in the three counts is Le 103,826.
When the charges were read and explained to the defendant, no plea was taken, as the matter is before the court for committal proceedings.
The prosecutor, Police Constable 17649 Brima Kargbo, informed the court that he had served the defendant with a copy of the case and inquiry file.
Magistrate Jah refused bail, citing the seriousness of the alleged offences, and ordered that the defendant be remanded at the Male Correctional Facility in Freetown.
The matter was adjourned to 21 October 2026 for further proceedings.
