This puts Abdulhamid Adiamoh, in a bit of a spot,more so author of the article,who will without doubt be asked by Principal Magistrate Alagbe of the Banjul Magistrates’ Court, when he appears before him "Where did you get your information from ?",it is unwritten law that those employed in professions such as the press never disclose their sources,its at catch 22 situation,tell me ( a magistrate representing the Court) or be detained until you have purged your contempt of court.
For counsel, Badou S.M. Conteh,to have made such a complaint to the court strikes me as a bit odd,I think that there is a lot more to this than meets the eye,will we ever know the true full story?,maybe who knows

“What you write can land you in trouble even if you know it to be true, if you do not verify your source,” the judge said, adding that what journalists write has to be always the correct thing." (Justice Emmanuel Nkea )
That's One down one to go :
"After spending three days at the remand wing of the Mile 2 State Central Prison, Lamin Njie, deputy editor-in-chief of The Daily News newspaper, yesterday walked out of the High Court in Banjul a free man after he was pardoned by Justice Emmanuel Nkea for contempt of court."
"Also currently in detention at the State Central prison is Abdulhamid Adiamoh, editor-in-chief of Today newspaper whose arrest was also ordered by the Banjul Magistrates’ Court last Wednesday."
