Police stopped a driver at a Bo-Kenema highway checkpoint on 16 October 2025, according to Premier Media. The report names him as Senesie Bah. The charge concerns 14 bundles of cannabis sativa, with no weight given.
He faces two counts under the National Drug Control Act 2008: possession and transporting. A Freetown magistrate refused bail, citing the seriousness of the charges, and remanded him in custody at the Male Correctional Facility. He had not entered a plea and the case was adjourned to 8 December 2025.
Why it matters: A working driver is held without bail before any plea, which can mean months in custody. The report gives no weight, so we cannot say how large the load was.
