Man Remanded as Human Skull Allegedly Linked to Kush Production is Tendered in Court

The High Court of Sierra Leone has been presented with disturbing evidence in a case involving the alleged unlawful possession and use of a human skull in the production of synthetic cannabis, commonly known as kush.

The accused, Augustine Joe Dauda, was on Friday remanded at the Male Correctional Centre by Justice Isata Sellu Tucker after prosecutors tendered a human skull as a key exhibit in the ongoing criminal proceedings.

Dauda is facing two serious charges: unlawful possession of materials intended for the production of illegal drugs, contrary to the National Drugs Control Act of 2008, and unlawful reopening of a grave without medical supervision, in violation of the Public Health Act of 2023.
