Mohamed Amara, a businessman, was brought before the court on charges of fraudulent conversion. He stands accused of misappropriating two printers, valued at ten thousand Leones, which were entrusted to him by Emmanuel Teddy Koroma ESQ for the purpose of sale.
Amara appeared before Magistrate Santigie Bangura at Pademba Road Court No. 2 in Freetown, on charges of fraudulent conversion, which is a violation of Section 20(1)(iv)(a) of the Larceny Act of 1916.
The case details allege that Amara fraudulently converted the two printers for his personal use or benefit.
The alleged offense took place in July 2024 at #3 Macdonald Street in the Western area of Freetown.
During the proceedings, the charges were read and explained to the accused, but no plea was entered.
The prosecution, led by Sergeant 3379 Theresa Ballay, requested a brief adjournment due to the unavailability of a key witness.
Amara was not represented by legal counsel at this hearing.
Magistrate Bangura denied bail, citing the seriousness of the alleged offense, and ordered Amara to be remanded at the male correctional facility in Freetown.
The case has been adjourned until April 3, 2025.
