Unix Company Supervisor Remanded for Alleged Fraud and Embezzlement

A supervisor at Unix Company was remanded in custody today, October 15, 2025, after being charged with the alleged theft of over Le 344,000 and chemical supplies from his employer, Abdel Kadir Ocak.

Musa Jawara, 32, made his initial appearance before Magistrate John Manso Fornah at Pademba Road Court No. 2 in Freetown, where he faces charges of larceny by servant and fraudulent embezzlement.

According to court documents, Jawara, who was employed by Abdel Kadir Ocak, allegedly stole Le 344,870 from his employer on an unspecified date between April and August 2025. The alleged theft occurred at No. 6 New Signal Hill Road and No. 73 Adelaide Street, both in Freetown. These funds are identified as property of Mr. Ocak.

In a second count, Jawara is accused of fraudulently embezzling one ton (1,000 liters) of "concert chemical," valued at Le 110,000, also belonging to Mr. Ocak. This incident is alleged to have taken place on the same date and at the same locations as the first charge.

Jawara did not enter a plea when the charges were read and explained to him.

Prosecutor Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Sorie Conteh requested a short adjournment to allow for the presentation of his first witness. Magistrate Fornah subsequently denied bail and ordered Jawara's remand to the Male Correctional Facility in Freetown. The case has been adjourned to October 17, 2025.
