DRAMA IN THE COURT
By Bubacarr k. Sowe
An unusual incident occurred on Thursday at the Kanifing Magistrate's Court when a defendant jumped police custody and disappeared.
Sarjo Sissoho, (the defendant), was sued by one Jajeh Conteh over a D130, 000 visa deal. Appearing before Magistrate Pa Harry Jammeh, Sissoho revealed to the court the people whom he bribed to secure visas for his clients. He also said he gives ten thousand dalasi to state security agents (name withheld) to facilitate the trip of his clients. Sissoho also told the court that with the help of two German friends, he has been able to get sixteen people to Germany and Spain.
Magistrate Jammeh ruled that the defendant's act is criminal and has corrupted security officers. The Magistrate recommended that Sissoho be arrested and detained at the Bundung Police Station for further investigation.
Some minutes after the order was made, Sissoho sneaked out of the court room without anybody's notice. He was apprehended two hours later by first class constable, Pateh Jawo, in Banjulunding where he was seen riding on a motor bike, allegedly on the run. Sissoho was then remanded in custody at the State Central Prisons in Mile Two. He should be back in court today.
