A four years
old minor is expected to testify today at the Makeni Magistrate court presided
over by Peter Gogra on how the accused sexually fidgeted her in an unfinished
house that resulted to blood oozing out from her two legs.
According to
the minor’s grandmother, she revealed in court that on the 27th
November 2019 at Manokoh village in the Bombali Sherry Chiefdom, Bombali
District, she left the victim playing in the veranda of the house and went to
attend to the call of nature.
On her
return, she could not see the victim and immediately she raised an alarm which
prompted the neighbors to go in search of the minor who they later discovered
by one Abdul Kamara in an unfinished house with the accused sexually fidgeting
her.
She further
revealed that seen the ungodly scene, Abdul Kamara shouted loud that attracted
neighbors to come to the scene of crime and immediately the accused Saidu
Kamara saw them, he decided to run away but was arrested by youth and taken to
Manokoh village for questioning and in the process, thick blood stain was
spotted in the minor’s pants and blood running down her legs.
The minor
was immediately rushed to the Makeni government hospital for medication while
the accused was brought to the Mena police station for interrogation.
The accused
Saidu Kamara will be arraigned in court for the offence of Sexual Penetration
of a Child, contrary to Section 19 of the Sexual Offences Act, 2012 as repealed
and replaced by Section 4 (a) (iii) of the Sexual Offences Amendment Act 2019,
Act No.8 of 2019.
