Alusine Jalloh, a 32-year-old mason, was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment by Magistrate Sahr Kekura at Pademba Road Court No. 1 in Freetown after pleading guilty to charges of wounding and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
On June 29, 2024, at Vincent Drive, Malama, Lumley in Freetown, Jalloh maliciously wounded Solomon Koroma. Additionally, he assaulted Koroma, causing him actual bodily harm.
Jalloh admitted to the charges, explaining that he was involved in a fight with three others when Koroma attempted to intervene. In the chaos, Jalloh unintentionally injured Koroma. He pleaded for leniency from the court.
Considering Jalloh’s guilty plea and his remorseful statement, Magistrate Kekura sentenced him to 18 months in the Male Correctional Facility or a fine of two thousand Leones. The case was prosecuted by Inspector Sellu TAP.
