Lawyer Augustine Marrah Faces Disciplinary Council Over Alleged Misconduct Towards Judiciary

The Deputy Master and Registrar of the Sierra Leone Judiciary has lodged a formal complaint against prominent legal practitioner Augustine Sorie Sengbe Marrah Esq., accusing him of serious professional misconduct aimed at bringing the legal profession into disrepute.
In a letter dated December 16, 2025, Lloyd Hindolo Jusu, the Deputy Master and Registrar, formally requested that the General Legal Council initiate an investigation into Marrah’s conduct.
The complaint cites a recent televised appearance during which Marrah allegedly used “insulting, derogatory, and wholly inappropriate language directed at members of the judiciary.” Jusu asserts that these statements were calculated to undermine public confidence in the judicial administration.
The letter alleges that on a previous occasion, Marrah was captured on video “climbing on top of the table of the Supreme Court” during a meeting. Additionally, the correspondence highlights that Marrah was convicted of Criminal Contempt by the Supreme Court on October 30, 2020.
