Magistrate John Manso Fornah of Pademba Road Court No. 2 in Freetown has ordered that a subpoena be served on an absent prosecution witness in a case involving 27-year-old student David Kamara, who is standing trial on a count charge of fraudulent conversion, contrary to Section 20(1)(IV)(a) of the Larceny Act of 1916.
According to the particulars of the offence, the defendant allegedly committed the offence on Saturday, 25th August 2026, at Victoria Street, Freetown, in the Western Area of Sierra Leone, where he fraudulently converted to his own use and benefit a yellow tricycle bearing registration number AZB 745, valued at NLe68, 690.
The tricycle was allegedly entrusted to him by David Lincoln and is said to be the property of Aminata Bab Lincoln.
When the charge was read and explained to the defendant, no plea was taken, as the matter is before the court under committal proceedings.
The prosecutor, Police Constable 18235 Thoranka K, applied for a subpoena to compel the attendance of the absent prosecution witness.
Magistrate Fornah granted the application and adjourned the matter to 17th November 2026 for further proceedings. The defendant’s bail was also continued.
