BAKAU UDP CANDIDATE'S TRIAL AGAIN ADJOURNED
By Modou Jonga
The trial involving the state and the UDP candidate for the Bakau constituency in the just ended National Assembly elections, Mr. Nfamara S. Bojang, was on Monday 12th February adjourned to Monday 26th February.
The case, presided over by Magistrate E.F M'bai, was adjourned due to the absence of the prosecutor who was said to be on an official mission. Prosecutor 413 Sanyang held brief for the latter.
In the previous sitting, the prosecutor, ASP Badjie, has told the court that the two witnesses available in this case are Police Officers whom he said were on examination and as such could not attend court to testify.
Mr. Bojang who pleaded not guilty to the two criminal charges, was arrested a day after his nomination by the I.E.C to contest the Bakau Constituency seat and was thus subsequently arraigned in court on 10th January 2007 at the Brikama Magistrates' Court. Defence counsel, lawyer Ousainou Darboe, was present in court.
