Man Arrested For Stealing Parliament Chief Whip’s Vehicle

Magistrate Manso Fornah of Court No. 2 has remanded Mohamed D. Kamanda at the Male Correctional Centre in connection with the alleged theft of a vehicle belonging to the Chief Whip of Parliament, Hon. Dixon Momoh Rogers.

According to police allegations, the offence occurred last year within the precincts of Parliament, where the accused is said to have stolen a MISANG jeep valued at 75,000 United States dollars, bearing registration number MRD 001, along with Le 20,000 (Twenty Thousand Leones) and a pair of sunglasses from the vehicle.

Kamanda was charged with larceny contrary to Section 2 of the Larceny Act of 1961. When the charge was read and explained to him in open court, he pleaded not guilty.

The prosecution, led by State Counsel Sorie Conteh, called its first witness, Princess Christiana Dumbuya. In her testimony, she told the court that on January 5, 2026, she received a call from the Chief Driver informing her that Hon. Rogers’ vehicle was missing. Upon checking the Parliament logbook, it was discovered that the defendant had taken the vehicle in December, with his name and signature recorded in the logbook.
