Professional footballer Mohamed Kamara was remanded in custody following his appearance before Magistrate Santigie Bangura at Pademba Road Court No. 2 last Wednesday.
Kamara faces five charges related to the unlawful possession and handling of the prohibited substance known as Kush. The specific charges include collecting, transporting, exposing, dealing in, and possessing the drug without legal authorization.
According to police reports, Kamara was arrested on March 19, 2025, at the Lumley Police checkpoint, where he was allegedly caught transporting and dealing in Kush. Due to the serious nature of the allegations, no plea was entered during the hearing.
Prosecutor Detective Police Constable Thoronka K.K. requested an adjournment to consult with witnesses and finalize preparations for the case. Magistrate Bangura ordered Kamara to be held at the Freetown Male Correctional Facility. The case has been adjourned until April 30, 2025, for further proceedings.
This arrest comes amid intensified efforts by Sierra Leonean authorities to combat drug-related crimes across the country.
