Lamin R. Darboe And Co. Trial
Another Adjournment
By Modou Jonga
The trial involving the State and Mr. Lamin R. Darboe of the UDP and four others was on Wednesday 31 October 2007 deferred to 14 November. The trial did not proceed due to the absence of the presiding Magistrate Ayub Johnny Njie.
Readers would recall that the five supporters of the UDP, who pleaded not guilty to the preferred assault charges, were first arraigned in court on 7 August, 2006 before Magistrate S.B Tabally. The accused persons Lamin R. Darboe, Buba Darboe, Jerreh Fatty, Maimuna Jobarteh and Momodou Demba are alleged to have unlawfully assaulted the complainants thereby causing them bodily harm on 15 May, 2006, at Pirang village in the Kombo East District.
Only two prosecution witnesses have so far testified before Magistrate Njie. The first prosecution witness, Morro Bojang, while being cross examined by defense counsel lawyer Ousainou Darboe, denied having known that on the night of 15 May, 2006 the APRC supporters were arrested by police officers from Mandina-Ba Police Station based on the complaint lodged by the first accused, Lamin R. Darboe.
