Fourah Bay College, under the University of Sierra Leone, has opened a formal investigation into serious allegations made against part-time law lecturer Justice Momoh Jah-Stevens. The move follows public accusations by Ms. Edwina Jamiru, a Diploma Two student in the Legal Studies Programme, who claims the lecturer engaged in sexual harassment and corruption.

In a statement dated November 10, 2025, Deputy Registrar Brima Bah confirmed that the University views the allegations with utmost seriousness and maintains a strict zero-tolerance stance toward any form of misconduct, abuse, or harassment. The College Discipline Committee has already begun a thorough inquiry into the matter.

The University also commented on Ms. Jamiru’s decision to take her complaints to social media. While acknowledging her right to raise concerns, the administration expressed concern about the public portrayal of the institution, describing the approach as unproductive and potentially damaging to the University’s image. She has been advised to address future communications through the Deputy Registrar’s Office in writing.

As the investigation continues, the University has placed Justice Stevens’ contract—under which he serves as an Associate Lecturer in the LLB Degree Programme—under review. Meanwhile, Ms. Jamiru has been directed to professional support services, including counseling, while the administration encourages all students to report misconduct through official channels, promising confidentiality and proper handling of every case.
