Freetown, 21st October 2015-The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has filed indictments against two employees of the Koidu Government Hospital for allegedly misappropriating medical supplies intended for Sierra Leone’s Free Health Care Programme.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, 21st October 2025, the ACC confirmed that it has formally charged Christian Benjamin Karjue, Head Store Keeper at the hospital, and Ibrahim Janneh, a Cleaner, at the High Court of Sierra Leone sitting in Kono.

The case is expected to proceed in the coming weeks as part of the ACC’s broader crackdown on corruption in public service delivery.
