Honourable Justice Adrian Fisher has in his ruling on the 25th October 2022 at the Main Law Courts Building in Freetown, outlined reasons for refusing bail to accused Alhaji Amadu Bah, popularly known as Boss La.

Contrary to media reports, Justice Fisher didn’t in any way refuse bail “because of alleged interference with witness.”

According to Awoko Newspaper, “Justice Fisher has ruled that even though popular musician Boss La is sick, he must be remanded in custody until the closure of his case because of alleged interference with witness.”

There is no where in the ruling in which the judge ruled that he was sick. The judge concluded that if he was sick, it was the duty of the correctional services by law to ensure he is given medical treatment. The judge took into consideration the interference with witness by members of Boss La’s family and the seriousness of the offence of robbery which attracts 14 years imprisonment and public protection.
