Ms. Edwina Jamiru, a Diploma Two student of Legal Studies at the Faculty of Law, has raised concerns over being denied access to the Judiciary of Sierra Leone while attempting to follow up on compensation she claims is owed to her by Justice Momoh Jah-Stevens.
According to Ms. Jamiru, she visited the Judiciary on Monday, November 11, 2025, to speak with judicial authorities regarding compensation she said was due to her following a case she had won against Mr. Stevens. She alleged that despite a court decision in her favor, she has not received any form of compensation and continues to face personal and emotional difficulties resulting from the situation.
Ms. Jamiru further claimed that upon her arrival at the Judiciary premises, she was stopped by security personnel and registry staff, who reportedly prevented her from entering the building. She argued that the Judiciary is a public institution and that the registry had no authority to deny her access.
“My rights have been limited because I won the case against Momoh Jah Stevens. They stopped me from entering the Judiciary,” Ms. Jamiru stated.
The dispute between Ms. Jamiru and Mr. Stevens gained public attention earlier this year after she accused him of sexual harassment and corruption. She also revealed that Mr. Stevens initially denied being the father of her child until a court-ordered DNA test confirmed his paternity.
As of now, there has been no official statement from the Judiciary of Sierra Leone or from Mr. Stevens regarding Ms. Jamiru’s latest claims.
