Two senior officials of Zenith Bank, Bo Branch, are currently in Police custody, assisting with investigations into an alleged case of Conspiracy and Larceny by Servant involving over Le 2,155,898, allegedly belonging to QCell.
The suspects, Mohamed Tharm, Cash Manager, and Hassan Forna, Senior Note Counter at Zenith Bank, were arrested following a formal complaint from QCell’s head office in Freetown. The telecommunications company discovered financial irregularities after multiple deposits made by its agents failed to reflect in their bank account. When QCell management raised concerns with the Bank’s Bo branch, the manager denied any knowledge of the transactions, prompting further scrutiny.
Following due process, investigators sought and obtained permission to search the residences of the suspects. During the search, multiple Bank slips were discovered, raising suspicions about the extent of the alleged fraud. These findings suggest the possibility of a broader pattern of financial malpractice.
The arrests have sparked widespread concern, with stakeholders calling on the judiciary to ensure that justice is served. Community leaders, financial experts, and concerned citizens stress the need for due process, urging the courts to uphold the integrity of the financial sector.
“This case is not just about two individuals; it is about safeguarding the credibility of our Banking system,” said one concerned resident. “If proven guilty, they must face the full force of the law to deter others from similar acts.”
Meanwhile, the Police assure the public that investigations are ongoing and that every necessary step will be taken to ensure justice. The suspects remain in custody as inquiries continue.
The Sierra Leone Police reaffirm their commitment to upholding justice and protecting public trust in the Country’s financial institutions. Members of the public are encouraged to report any suspicious financial dealings to the authorities to prevent similar incidents.
