Freetown Fifty-nine-year-old Mohamed Sanu, a former ward coordinator, and fifty-three-year-old Pastor Kelly Marrah have been remanded at the Male Correctional Centre in Freetown to stand trial before the High Court on allegations of misprision of treason. The ruling was delivered by Magistrate Mustapha Braima Jah of Pademba Road Court No. 1.
According to the particulars of offence, between 26th November 2023 and 26th July 2025, in Freetown, both accused persons, knowing that treason had allegedly been committed by one Daniel Keleh Mansaray, alias “Ceaser,” and other persons unknown, unlawfully concealed the commission of the said treason.
When the charge was read and explained to them, no plea was taken.
State Counsel Yusuf Isaac Sesay Esq. informed the court that the prosecution had closed its case and subsequently withdrew the file for ruling.
Delivering his decision, Magistrate Jah stated that, having carefully reviewed the prosecution’s evidence and submissions, he was satisfied that a prima facie case had been established against the accused. He therefore ordered that both Sanu and Marrah be committed to stand trial before the High Court of Sierra Leone.
The magistrate further directed that the accused persons remain in remand custody at the Male Correctional Centre pending the commencement of their trial.
The case now proceeds to the High Court, where both defendants will face charges relating to their alleged involvement in concealing the commission of treason.
