Security Officials, Civilians Charged With Stealing Government Vehicle
Remanded in Custody
By Bubacarr K. Sowe
Two security officials and a civilian are currently remanded at the State Central Prison at Mile Two, following their appearance in court on Monday, January 28, on charges relating to a stolen government motor vehicle.
Lieutenant Bakary Camara of the State Guard, Assistant Superintendent of Police Manlafi Sanyang and Momodou Lamin Sonko, proprietor of Boto Construction Company all pleaded not guilty to conspiracy and stealing.
The particulars of the alleged offences show that the men conspired and stole a motor vehicle with the registration number BJL 4063B, being property of The Gambia government. On the third court, which is on economic crimes, the accused persons did not take their plea because the court does not have the jurisdiction to try such an offence.
The Criminal Procedure (Amendment) Act provides under section 3: “Whenever any charge has been brought against any person of an offence not triable by a subordinate court, the Magistrate may, subject to section 99, remand that person into custody until such time that the matter is mentioned in the High Court.”
Consequently, Lt. Camara, ASP Sanyang and Mr. Sonko were all remanded in custody by Magistrate Kayode Olajubutu of the Banjul Magistrates’ Court pending their arraignment before a court of competent jurisdiction.
