A man identified as Mamadou Warne was allegedly attacked and fatally stabbed by hired thugs over a longstanding land dispute on the evening of Saturday, May 10, 2025, in Waterloo.
Reports indicate that Mr. Jalloh, the accused, hired a group of seven youths to carry out the attack, resulting in serious injuries and ultimately death. The conflict over the disputed land has persisted for eight years, with court rulings affirming that Mr. Warne was the rightful owner. Despite these legal decisions, Mr. Jalloh has allegedly continued to assert his claim to the property located along the main road of Ategebeh town.
Witnesses reported that the confrontation began in the morning when Mr. Jalloh, accompanied by the seven individuals, confronted Mr. Warne and his brother while they were performing maintenance on their roof. Tensions escalated as stones were allegedly thrown, resulting in injuries to both men.
Later that evening, after the initial attack had subsided, Warne was reportedly assaulted again and stabbed in the chest. Despite receiving immediate medical attention, he was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
Currently, Jalloh and the individual believed to have carried out the stabbing, reportedly an employee of Jalloh, are in police custody as investigations continue. Authorities are expected to conduct interviews with eyewitnesses and family members of the victim in the coming days.
