A bench warrant has been issued for the arrest of Malador, manager of Malador Company Limited, after he failed to appear in court to face charges of conspiracy to defraud and fraudulent conversion.
The warrant was ordered by Magistrate Samuel Koroma of Pademba Road Court No. 4 in connection with an alleged $30,000 fraud case.
Malador is specifically charged with conspiracy to defraud, in contravention of applicable law, and fraudulent conversion, in violation of Section 20 (1) (iv) (a) of the Larceny Act of 1916.
According to the indictment, Malador is accused of conspiring with unidentified individuals in Freetown on August 26, 2024, to defraud Roseline Fatu Cowan of thirty thousand United States dollars ($30,000). This amount is reportedly equivalent to seven hundred twenty-nine thousand Leones (Le729,000). The funds were allegedly entrusted to Malador by the complainant for the purpose of international travel to the United States.
During the court proceedings, Ibrahim S.Y. Kamara, counsel for the complainant, informed the court that Malador had been properly served with the indictment and was aware of the ongoing proceedings but was not present. Kamara subsequently requested the issuance of a bench warrant for Malador’s apprehension.
Magistrate Koroma granted the application, directing law enforcement authorities to arrest Malador and bring him before the court. The case is scheduled to resume on July 22, 2025, for further hearing.
