Journalist Fatou Jaw Manneh’s Missing Case File Found
By Fabakary B. Ceesay
The sedition trial case file of journalist Fatou Jaw Manneh, which has been reported missing from Kanifing Magistrates Court, has now been found. Reliable sources informed this reporter that the file has been found at the Banjul Magistrates Court.
According to our sources, the file has already been referred back to the Kanifing Magistrates’ court. Sources added that a date has also been set for the trial to resume after months of delay and transfer from one court to another.
It could be recalled that Magistrate Buba Jawo has indefinitely adjourned the matter after the case file was reported missing in court on Monday, 17 March.
Journalist Fatou Jaw Manneh has been standing trial on different charges of sedition, since April last year. Only two witnesses have so far testified in the case. It was moved from Kanifing to Banjul, Brikama, but never took place there, later to the high court and back to Kanifing court. On two occasions, the case could not proceed at Kanifing until the file was reported missing. The case has now been set for 16 April for continuation, at the Kanifing Magistrates Court.

Who is the judge presiding over the case this time? Is it Buba Jawo again?
We need to know so we can target our request to them directly. She needs to be let go as soon as possible.
Fatou has demonstrated extreme bravery and she has shown a sysmbol of pride and patriotism during this case.
In case people have not notice Fatou has transformed what should have been a nighmare and depressing situation for her to one of humbleness and fear free. She could have stayed in doors depressed and crying about it daily, but no this ICON woman said to to me "am not going to let anybody intimidate me im my own country"
She has made best use of her time in Gambia and she is already involved in press activities and going about her daily life. She has transformed Gambia's hell fire into a time well spend. She is looking more beautiful and smiling than ever.
The message we need to learn from Fatou is that LIFE is what you make it. She found herself in her home country and did not want to feel like she is in a foreign land. She has reconnected with friends and family, with professional journalist that she can interact with. The results is that while the government is playing its dirty game, in the name of wasting her time,she has found confort in being who she is in Gambia.
This is absolutely magnificient and it displays humbleness and bravery in this young lady. She must be let go as she is a icon to her nation and to all women around the world. |

I keep woundering what type of judicial sytem we now have in the Gambia.My friends how can a file of such an important case(if the state truely belief they have a case against my dear sister)go missing in the first place?Come on fellas lets face the real Gambia of today.I belief this case would drag-on and on and on and on and only God and the accusers of Fatou knows when the case would be finally heard and final judgement given.
This is what Mandinkas called " Jalo singo le be foorango kang"(The drummer has his foot on the stick meant for the drumming).Defnately, when that happens, Tantango te kosilano"(The drum cannot be beaten)
God bless the Gambia

Hi kon,
Nice to hear from you.Well I have been to Kanilai to receive His Highness,s new cure for intelectualiasioses.It is a sickness that catches the brain of intelectuals when exposed to too much listening to white elephant promises and trying to force oneself they are true.
Only Jilanka has cure to these.I happened to have symptoms of this sickness last month when a friend of mine made me belief that they've started exploring oil in the Gambia...........But am now taking my dose and thats why am back on line my friend. |

Watch out for the demonds. They are on the loose. So you are not out of the woods yet. |

Oh bye the way I must let you know that we now have the biggest traditional hospital in Kanilai where every thing is cured including halusination,somnambulism,antiYayarism ect ect.
Demons are everywhere.Though you cannot see the demons unless the big man cast his powerful holy water over you which he rarely does as he said that would make people scared when they see his powerful demons but their presence is all the time felt when the magic leader appears.
Kon, am now out of the woods for good and am with my family now.My kids missed me so much that they vowed never to let me leave them for so long again. |
