Kamarainba posts his own bail in Sierra Leone

Mohamed Kamarainba Mansaray was initially arraigned before Magistrate Alhaji Sulaiman Koroma of Kenema Magistrate court, on three counts indictment, ranging from unlawful possession of stun gun, contrary to section 13(1)of cap37 as amended by section 5 Act No.6 of 1961, unlawful possession of small arms without authority, contrary to section 19(2)A of Act No.14 of 1965 as repealed and replaced by section 10 of Act No. 7 1978 and carrying offensive weapon, contrary to section 16(1)of the public order Act of 1965.

Mohamed Bangura was charged together with Kamarainba but both accused have since been released on bail.

Even the police officers who provided security for the court hearing were said to be visibly scared by the mammoth gathering, all in favor of the accused persons.
The matter was adjourned to the 21st June, 2017. The matter is presently prosecuted by Inspector Aiah Mafinda while Lawyer Saffa Abdulai is leading the defense team.
