Intro: The Freetown High Court No. 3, presided over by Honourable Justice Edmund K. Cowan on April, 26th, 2001, ruled in the matter between Jagiko enterprises, owned by a Fullah businessman, Lamrana Sow, and Kamtoko Africa trade Links, with Mustapha T. Koroma as proprietor.
After what seemed to be a long drawn legal battle in the High Court, the Presiding Judge, Justice A. B. Rashid, who deputised for Honourable E. K. Cowan, who is now Speaker of Parliament, ruled in favour of Jagiko Enterprises of 6, Lumley Street in Freetown.
The Court stipulated that Jagiko Enterprises with Mohamed Sow as proprietor, was the only recognised importer and sole distributor of Boss cigarette in the country.
Kamtoko Africa trade Links was ordered to pay costs to Jagiko for all expenses incurred during the long legal battle.
Kamtoko was also ordered to stop using the Boss Trade Mark as "Jagiko is the authorised agent and distributor of the product in Sierra Leone".
