COURT ISSUES BENCH WARRANTS FOR REPATRIATED MIGRANTS By Modou Jonga
The Brikama Magistrate Court on Monday, 12th February 2007, issued a bench warrant for the arrest of twenty-five repatriated migrants from Spain.
This is the second time for such issuance of bench warrants in this particular case by the said court, presided over by Magistrate E.F M'bai. The first was on the 12th December last year and it involved twelve repatriated migrants.
The twenty-five accused persons to be arrested are part of a group of thirty accused persons standing trial at the said court for alleged malicious damage to the property of The Gambia Civil Aviation Authority at the Banjul International Airport on 28th October 2006. All the accused persons, most of whom are in their mid-twenties, have pleaded not guilty to the charge preferred against them. Five of the accused persons were, however, present in court.
