Chief Alhaji Lamin Moseray, identified as one of the alleged landowners in an ongoing dispute at a sand mining site in Bai Largoh Town, Kori Chiefdom, has reportedly died following escalating tensions at the location on Friday, 6 February 2026.
Local sources say Chief Moseray, a resident of Bai Largoh Town, was involved in a confrontation linked to disagreements over land rights associated with sand mining activities in the area. However, details surrounding the incident and the circumstances leading to his death remain unclear.
As of press time, the official cause of death has not been established, and investigations are reportedly ongoing involving law enforcement authorities and community leaders. Police and local government officials are yet to issue an official statement confirming the death or outlining the nature of any investigation.
Residents of the area have expressed shock over the development, noting that disputes related to land ownership and sand mining have increasingly strained community relations in parts of Moyamba District. Such tensions, they say, often arise where customary land rights intersect with commercial mining interests, sometimes requiring mediation or legal intervention.
It remains unclear whether any arrests have been made in connection with the incident. Authorities are expected to provide further details as investigations continue.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available from official sources.
