The Judiciary of Sierra Leone has remanded Lamin Sesay, surety for alleged drug baron, Abdul Kamara popularly known as “Biggie Tel”.
Mr. Lamin Sesay is recognized and well known within the Court premises in Freetown. He always stands as a surety for accused/ defendants that the courts grant bail.
It will be recalled that last year, Lamin Sesay stood as surety for a defendant popularly known as Biggie Tel, after he was granted bail by Justice Alhaji Momoh Jah Steven, on drug related offences.
The defendant Biggie Tel was granted bail by Court of Appeal Judge, Justice Momoh Jah Steven in the sum of Forty Thousand Leones, a surety in like sum, and the surety to produce a National Identification Card.
Because the defendant failed to appear before the Court on the last adjourned date, Lamin Sesay was arrested on the orders of the Judge and immediately remanded at the Pademba Road Maximum Male Correctional Centre.
Until he produced the defendant, Lamin Sesay continues to be in remand until the accused is seen.
The defendant Biggie Tel is a popular businessman residing in the East-End of Freetown. He was arrested by the Police based on allegations of drug dealings.
The Police later charged him to Court on a Preliminary Investigation (PI) conducted at the Magistrate Court, and at the conclusion of the PI hearing the case was committed to the High Court for trial, without bail.
Biggie Tel allegedly heads one of the largest drug cartels based at Mamba Ridge, Moriba Community. He is presently on the run.
