By Bubacarr K. Sowe
The trial of Lamin Fatty of the shuttered Independent newspaper has been readjourned due to the absence of the third Prosecution witness.

“Unfortunately the prosecution witness is busy and I am applying for an adjournment”, Mballow told the Court. Magistrate Kebba Sanyang then adjourned the matter to 12th of September.
Fatty was charged with false publication after spending sixty-two days in detention at the NIA headquarters. His paper, Independent has also been shut down by the state and its managing editor and editor- in- chief were also detained.
