In a significant development, Magistrate Santigie Bangura at Court No. 2, Pademba Road, Freetown, has assured a ruling in the case between Inspector General of Police and Pastor Jusu Fatoma after the prosecution closed its case.
Prosecuting Counsel Isaac Yusif Sesay stated that the prosecution has presented numerous evidences and will rely on them. He then called his final witness, Issa Kamara, Detective Sergeant 8576, who outlined his responsibilities, including ensuring registrations of items and reporting related matters.
Kamara revealed that on July 15, 2024, Detective Police Constable 19841 Moseray MS handed over several exhibits, including damaged security lights, old clothing, security handsets, and documents. He registered these items in the exhibit book with serial number 068/2024.
Chernor Kamara, representing the accused, cross-examined the exhibit officer about any inscriptions of “Security Guard” on the T-shirts and polos, to which the officer replied, “no.” The magistrate then inquired if the defense would open its case, and the defense relied on the statement made at the police station.
The magistrate announced that a ruling will be made on Wednesday, October 2, 2024.
