Lieutenant Bakary Camara’s Trial In Limbo Family Asked To Vacate Residence
By Bubacarr K. Sow
The trial of Lieutenant Bakary Camara, a Presidential body guard did not proceed on Thursday, as the prosecutor was reportedly engaged.
Lieutenant Camara is charged with stealing a government motor vehicle and giving false information to a public officer. The accused person was initially charged with stealing, conspiracy and economic crime together with Assistant Superintendent of Police Manlafi Sanyang and Momodou Lamin Ceesay, proprietor of Boto Construction.
However, Lieutenant Camara is now facing separate charges in court and it is not clear whether the previous charges still stand.
Meanwhile, Foroyaa has learnt that the three men are still in detention.
On Thursday, a police officer who appeared for the prosecutor told the court that he wants an adjournment because Inspector Yaya Touray who is prosecuting Lieutenant Camara’s case is on an official assignment. Camara was on Tuesday granted bail by the Banjul Magistrates Court in the sum of D50,000.
In another development the family members of Lieutenant Camara were on Wednesday, February 27, ordered by security Officials to vacate their residence which is a state property.
Lieutenant Camara is expected before Magistrate Olajubutu Kayode on March 4.
