The Former Minister of Lands and
Country Planning, Dr. Denis Sandy is expected to face criminal charges, anytime
soon, for allegedly authorizing his men to demolish a Primary School belonging
to Mrs. Elizabeth Squire, situated at Mongeba Village,.
According to Madam Squire, she
bought four plots of land in 2014 to build Primary and Secondary schools and
for which, she said, she was given the necessary documents.
She said few months later, Dr.
Sandy wrote a letter informing her that the land she bought was a State Land
and she must desist from constructing any structure on it.
Madam Squire further explained that
she took the letter to her Lawyer, Elvis Kargbo who advised her to stay calm until
the matter is fully pursued.
She said based on the advice she
received from her lawyer, she stopped
the construction and filed a civil summon against three defendants including,
Momoh Adati Bangura, Abu Sesay the headman of Mongeba village and Kebbie Conteh
who were caretakers of the said land for Dr. Sandy.
According to the summon, the
accused are before the court for stealing materials meant for building the
schools and for maliciously damaging a corrugated iron sheet structure she
erected.
The matter was before the then
Magistrate Bonnie, now Justice of the High Court but currently before
Magistrate Mark Ngegba as the presiding Magistrate.
The matter was to commence last
week but the file was nowhere to be found.
In the circumstance, the matter was
adjourned until the file is available.
