‘”Bai Mahmoud Bangura was Never Aware of My Movements””-2nd accused says

In the ongoing treason trial involving eleven accused persons infront of Justice Komba Kamanda in the High Court No.1, the second accused Mohamed Jalloh has on Monday 4th March 2024 categorically said Bai Mahmoud Bangura was never aware of his movement on or before the November 26 2023 attempted failed coup.

This clearly came out in a led cross examination of 8th prosecution witness Detective Police Sergeant 8526 Issa Kamara attached to CID Headquarters as an investigator dealing with the statement of the second accused person Mohamed Jalloh which was fully read in court verbatim.

“Bai Mahmoud Bangura asked me out of his residence on the grounds that he was not pleased with my movements especially when he suspiciously became aware of my frequent ins and outs of his premises,” portion of the statement of the second accused person Mohamed Jalloh noted.

The statement further pointed out that the second accused Mohamed Jalloh was always sneaking into the residence of the 8th accused Bai Mahmoud Bangura while the 8th accused had each time stepped out even when Bai Mahmoud Bangura had also made it known to the second accused Mohamed Jalloh that he is a politician and therefore does not want in anyway to be embroiled into any state issue of such nature as the instant November 26 2023 attempted failed coup.

“I was persuasively asked by my co-plotters of the failed attempted coup to kill Bai Mahmoud Bangura immediately after the whole process would have come to success. But I said No I will not because Bai Mahmoud Bangura has been of great help to me and my family so far,” the second accused Mohamed Jalloh said in the statement led in cross examination.

It was concluded in the cross examination statement that police never saw anything whatsoever of police interest while conducting a search particularly in the bedroom of Bai Mahmod Bangura.

Lawyer Ahmed GM Bockarie is prosecuting the matter on behalf of the state and the matter adjourned to Wednesday 6th March 2024 for further hearing.
