Four students from Fourah Bay College (FBC), University of Sierra Leone, have been committed to the High Court for further trial on charges related to the alleged theft of $850,000 from a retired nurse, Priscilla Jusu Sesay, in Freetown.
The students—Doreen Funnily, James Faiah Foyah, James Brima Foyah, and Yatta Jusu—made their final appearance before Magistrate Santigie Bangura at Court Number 2 in Freetown before the decision to commit the case to the High Court.
They face three charges: Conspiracy to Commit a Felony, House Breaking, and Larceny, contrary to Section 26(1) of the Larceny Act of 1961.
The charges allege that the students were involved in a conspiracy to steal the substantial sum from Sesay’s residence.
The case will now proceed to the High Court for further hearings.
