A man who forged the signature of a magistrate in a bid to free a remanded drug accused, was yesterday himself remanded after the document he presented to a court clerk was found to be false. Nerumah Kwame appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court before Acting Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine- Beharry charged with conspiracy to commit a felony.
Kwame was arrested at the Georgetown Supreme Court for trying to free the prison inmate with the bail document he purported to have collected from a magistrate.
According to the prosecution, the man who resides at Samatta Point, Grove, appeared at the Supreme Court where he inquired about a bail application. As a result, a cheque was presented along with a document used for bailing detainees.
The information continued that when the document was presented to the clerk it was realized that the paper was not prepared by a clerk or a magistrate. The clerk further notified police ranks on the location about the developments and the man was immediately arrested.
Bail was subsequently objected to with the prosecutor noting the seriousness of the offence which he said should be considered. He also touched on the fact that the defendant was trying to free a man who was legally detained by the state on a charge of narcotic possession.
The prosecutor also revealed that investigations were still ongoing into the matter as it appeared to ranks that the man regularly did such fraudulent jobs.
Kwame was remanded to jail. The forgery accused detainee is expected back in the court on December 13.
