In an unexpected twist in the ongoing controversy involving Justice Momoh Jah-Stevens, his sister has broken her silence, making serious allegations against Edwina Hawa Jamiru the law student at the center of the high-profile legal dispute.
Sources close to the family said the sister described Edwina’s actions as “destructive” to the judge’s reputation and the integrity of Sierra Leone’s judiciary. She reportedly argued that Jamiru’s public and social media statements were made without regard for legal procedures or the confidentiality of court matters.
The dispute began when Edwina accused Justice Jah-Stevens of impregnating and later abandoning her allegations that led to DNA tests confirming his paternity of her child.
The case has drawn intense public scrutiny, raising questions about both personal conduct and institutional accountability within the judiciary.
In her remarks, the sister stressed that the judge deserves due process and protection from what she termed an “unfair media trial.” She added that while Edwina has a right to share her side, the nature of her disclosures has caused reputational harm on both personal and institutional levels.
Although the full content of the sister’s statement is still under review, the development adds another layer of complexity to an already sensitive matter. The judiciary, meanwhile, faces mounting pressure to preserve public confidence as it continues its internal investigations.
Edwina, for her part, maintains that she was exploited and silenced a claim that contrasts sharply with the sister’s account.
The competing narratives highlight a deeper conflict between the pursuit of individual justice and the preservation of institutional credibility.
As the story continues to unfold, many observers are calling for a transparent resolution that upholds accountability, confidentiality, and respect for the rule of law.
