A shocking case of forgery has rocked Zenith Bank’s Fourah Bay Road Branch in Freetown, leading to the arrest and remand of Mohamed Kamara.
According to court documents, Kamara allegedly conspired with unknown individuals to commit forgery on July 26, 2024. He is accused of forging a Zenith Bank cheque (No. 1663692) in the name of Magistrate Abubakar Bangura from Pujehun District, intending to defraud the bank.
Kamara faced Magistrate Sahr Kekura at Pademba Road Court No. 1 on Monday, charged with three counts: Conspiracy to defraud, Forgery of documents, and Uttering forged documents, all under the Forgery Act of 1913.
The prosecution, led by ASP Ibrahim Mansaray, claims that Kamara knew the cheque was fraudulent when he presented it. Due to the severity of the charges, no bail was granted, and Kamara was remanded in custody.
The case has been adjourned until Wednesday, leaving many to wonder about the extent of the forgery and the involvement of other individuals. Mohamed Kamara, accused of forgery, was seen being transported in handcuffs.
