cLawyers Demand Police to Disclose Complainant in Edwina Jamiru’s Arrest

Two Prominent Sierra Leonean Lawyers, Lawyers Claude Bhamee Davies and Alfred Kamanda, have demanded that the police disclose the identity of the complainant in the case involving the recent arrest of Edwina Hawa Jamiru, who has been charged with alleged cyber-related offences.
The call comes after a statement by Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Brima Kamara, in which he reportedly confirmed Jamiru’s arrest but refused to reveal the identity of the person who reported the allegations.
During an interview with Liberty Online TV, ACP Kamara explained that the police would not disclose the complainant’s identity, citing concerns that doing so could have a prejudicial effect on the case. Kamara argued that the disclosure would not add value to the investigation and could potentially harm the fairness of the proceedings.
