| Mansa, we all feel the same, however, it is not easy to deal with betrayal, One finds it hard to swallow. He need to accept that, his boss dumped him, let him accept the reality. The risk of courting dictators |

In Gambian culture, "men" are not suppose to weep openly in public. Jesus should be ashamed of himself for breaking down so easily. He could cry us a river and dye his bald head green, no one is going to empathize with him. Jesus is an evil leach. |

Aware of how unjust the system plays in Gambia Jesus can't stop the tears. The total absence justice means that Jesus along with others can swell, burst and rot in their cells for infinity.
It what he was doing to others.
To Jesus we might as well add:
"As thou hath done to others, so shalt it be done to thee" |

Jesus explodes in court again, oooh!!!
"No sooner the 1st accused, Badjie stepped out of the dock, he approached the DDPP saying: "Why are you being wicked to me?" Essa Badjie was immediately taken away by some police and prison officers. The irritated ex-IGP burst into tears. "How can a foreigner like him come and challenge me in my own country as if he owns this country," he uttered and was led away from the courtroom." |

Jesus once said promotions in the police force will depend on loyalty to the President. How loyal are you now? Let them all of the burn. Taste the medicine you forced others to swallow. Sorry to say this but I do not feel sorry for anyone who choose, elect and defend the APRC government ( this including my uncle who is sitting in jail for being part of a false coup)
I have never seen grown men feel so sorry for themselves. All these sycophants who put a single man above Country will fall slowly but surely. The list will continue. Use, abuse, fire, rehire and fire again.

Friday, November 12, 2010
The criminal trial involving the state against the former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Ensa Badjie and Ali Ceesay proceeded yesterday, Thursday 11th of November 2010 before the Special Criminal Court in Banjul, presided over by Justice Joseph Enwa Ikpala, as two witnesses gave damaging evidence against the former IGP Badjie, who throughout the court session was clapping his hands, holding his mouth and shaking his head.
The ex-IGP Ensa Badjie is standing trial on criminal offences ranging from conspiracy to commit felony, robbery, receiving stolen property, aiding or abetting robbery, conspiracy to commit misdemeanor, aiding prisoner to escape from lawful custody, and official corruption amongst others. Ali Ceesay on the other hand is standing trial on charges of conspiracy to defeat justice and interference with witnesses, deceiving witnesses and offences relating to judicial proceedings, contrary to the Laws of The Gambia.
The proceedings began when the DDPP, Mikailu Abdulahi called the 9th prosecution witness, Dodou Janneh alias Dodou Boy, a death roll convict, who stood in the witness box to be cross-examined by the defence counsel, Borry Touray. Dodou Janneh told the court that he is presently in Mile Two Central Prisons as a death roll convict for the offence of murder.
The witness said he lost his appeal at the High Court, but hopes to file another appeal. He further said he cannot remember the year he came to know PW1, Soriba Condeh alias Ramses, the leader of the robbery gang that terrorised the Kanifing Division in 2005 and 2006, and did not know him when he was working at the City Pub in Serrekunda. PW9 explained that he joined the police as a volunteer between 2005 and 2006 after he left City Pub and at the moment he cannot remember the 1st accused vehicle registration number as it has taken a long time.
He further explained that he cannot also remember the 1st accused, Ensa Badjie’s cell phone number, but admitted he did store Ensa Badjie's cell phone number in his mobile phone. The witness told the court that he cannot remember Ensa Badjie’s office telephone number, saying that he had never called Ensa Badjie on his office line. He told the court that it was Landing Bojang who arrested him, dismissing the defence claim that it was Ensa Badjie who arrested him. As the defence counsel, Borry Touray accused him of lying to the court, PW9 insisted he was speaking the truth and that all what he is telling the court was nothing but the truth.
PW9 disclosed that in 2006, he assisted the 1st accused, Ensa Badjie to count the sum of D300, 000, the proceeds from PW1, Soriba Condeh and his gang's operation. The witness denied defence claims that he went to beg the 1st accused, Ensa Badjie on Koriteh day of 2010. He explained that on the day of the Koriteh in 2010, the NIA came for him, and the 1st accused, Ensa Badjie ran after him and begged him to forget about the incident, noting that he still has living witnesses to attest to his claim.
He revealed that the 1st accused told him to say that he was forced by the DPP to make a statement against him and if he (Ensa Badjie) manages to get away (free) from the instant case, he (Ensa Badjie) would help him, and he had never told Ensa Badjie that he would get a state pardon if he testifies against the 1st accused, Ensa Badjie. The witness affirmed that he can produce witnesses who were present when Ensa Badjie was begging him to forget about the incident.
At this point, defence counsel, Borry Touray put it to the witness that it was because of his regret that the state had refused to grant him pardon that he came to the court twice and feigned that he was ill and cannot give evidence. In his response, Dodou Boy said his personal health was of paramount concern to him, noting that he was actually ill and he must be in good health before he can give evidence. The witness denied defence claims that he sent Kuluteh Manneh to Ensa Badjie to apologise on his behalf, noting that he would rather meet the 1st accused himself than to send anyone to the 1st accused to beg him.
Dodou Boy said he knew PW1, Soriba Condeh alias Ramses since 2006 and that the said PW1 was introduced to him by Ensa Badjie. He told the court that he could not have recorded the information that the 1st accused, Ensa Badjie had telephoned PW1, Ramses that the Joint Task Force team was going to arrest PW1 because he was a police volunteer at the time, noting that the 1st accused, Ensa Badjie was the commander, so he had to remain silent.
He denied defence counsel's claims that he said he saw the 1st accused buy drinks for the members of the Joint Security Task Force, saying that the 1st accused used to give him money and drinks. The witness also pointed out that he has not come to the court to lie against the 1st accused, pointing out that the 1st accused person was not the only police officer in the police force. He insisted that he was not in a grand conspiracy to come and lie against the 1st accused.
He (PW9) told the court that it was one Ebrima Souma that was first arrested among the 15 suspected robber gang members, adding that he assisted the task force in locating and arresting the other gang members. He further told the court that though he cannot remember the last suspect that was arrested by the task force, he was among the members of the task force who arrested one of them, called Langama at Bambo in Serrekunda. The witness said he was given an order for the arrest of Langama and that he effected the arrest of Langama and cannot tell whether Langama was arrested as a result of the conversation between him (Langama) and PW1, Ramses. The witness disclosed that it was the 1st accused, Ensa Badjie who told him to keep quiet and not to tell anyone about the incident, when he found the 1st accused counting money in his office.
Dodou Boy told the court that he personally saw PW1, Ramses drunk and driving the 1st accused vehicle and he has had several discussions with the 1st accused on issues concerning PW1, Ramses. He also dismissed the defence claims that it was the 1st accused that effected the arrest of PW1, Ramses and was never aware of any investigation carried out by the NIA in connection to the 1st accused about the instant case, even though he knows something about the matter, he was never called upon by the NIA. He said he cannot remember the number of operations PW1, Ramses and his group carried out, but he did know that they carried out many operations.
Dodou Boy disclosed that he cannot also remember the number of places the robbers attacked after the joint security task force was constituted and that his evidence that he received information about PW1, Ramses was true, noting that it was the 1st accused, Ensa Badjie who told him that PW1, Ramses was an ex-military officer from Guinea Conakry. He maintained that it was the 1st accused who gave him money to count and that he (1st accused) was doing some transaction on behalf of PW1, Ramses. The witness further maintained that the 1st accused, Ensa Badjie bought alcohol for PW1, Soriba Condeh alias Ramses even when PW1 was behind bars.
He told the court that he has no grudge or animosity against the 1st accused, Ensa Badjie because Ensa Badjie never did any wrong thing to him. The witness said he has hope in his appeal against the death sentence that was imposed on him by the court and not on the presidential pardon which the defence claims is the reason he was brought to court to testify against the 1st accused. PW9 told the court that it was the 1st accused who confiscated two packets of suspected cannabis sativa from him after he caught and arrested the said Ebrima Souma.
He further told the court that he has never seen the Attorney General and Minister of Justice at the Mile Two Central Prisons, and that even if the minister of Justice had visited Mile Two Prisons, he is in confinement. Dodou Boy finally told the court that the breakdown of the relationship between the 1st accused, Ensa Badjie and Landing Bojang was because of the 1st accused person's involvement with the robbery gangs that were terrorising Serrekunda. After PW9, Dodou Janneh finished answering questions posed to him by defence counsel, Borry Touray, the prosecution led by the DDPP, Mikailu Abdulahi called the eleventh witness, one Inspector Abdoulie Saho of Kotu Police Station.
In his evidence, PW11, Inspector Abdoulie Saho told the court that he knows one Beyai Baba Khan alias Tony (PW8) and PW1, Soriba Sondeh alias Ramses. The 11th prosecution said he knows Ensa Badjie who was his boss as CID boss in Kanifing Police Division, whilst he was the station officer at Bakoteh. The witness recalled that sometime between 2006 and 2007, whilst he was at the Bakoteh Police Station as a station officer, he received information about PW1 Ramses that he (PW1) was in possession of an alleged stolen motorcycle.
The witness said he left his office with his personnel and dispatched them to a place where PW1, Ramses was residing. He said upon their arrival, they found PW1, Ramses and the motorcycle and PW1 was eventually arrested and taken to the station along with the motorcycle where he was charged and a file opened for further investigations. The witness told the court that PW1 was detained, but whilst he was in detention, one Fatou Joto Mendy (PW7) came to the station and requested to secure his bail. He disclosed that he however denied the said Fatou Joto Mendy securing PW1 bail, because she was a woman but after a short while, one Mr. Tony (PW8) came to him and informed him that he was sent by the 1st accused, Ensa Badjie asking him to release PW1.
Abdoulie Saho told the court that he refused and would only release PW1 unless he (PW11) gets order from the 1st accused, Ensa Badjie. The witness further revealed that shortly afterwards, he received a phone call from the 1st accused, who was his commanding officer, instructing him to release PW1, Ramses and the motorcycle with immediate effect. The 11th prosecution witness emphasised that despite the 1st accused person's instruction, he used his discretion and gave PW1, Ramses bail and asked Fatou Joto Mendy, the surety to deposit her Gambian National ID Card at the station.
He told the court that both PW1 Ramses and Fatou Joto Mendy then left the station, but he impounded the said motorbike and kept it in the station. The witness disclosed that after they left he received a telephone call from the 1st accused querying him why he didn't carry out his instruction to release both the PW1 and the said motorbike. He revealed that the next day at about 5:00pm, whilst he was in his office, the 1st accused Ensa Badjie and PW1, Ramses came to him and the 1st accused collected the ID card of Fatou Joto Mendy and promised to get back to him, concerning the motorbike.
He said a couple of weeks later, the 1st accused, Ensa Badjie called him and asked him where he was and he replied that he was in his office. He said the 1st accused then instructed him to bring along the motorbike and the case file of PW1 Ramses to the Serrekunda Police Station. PW11 further said upon the receipt of 1st accused instruction, he then left with one Tijan Bojang, an Immigration officer to meet the 1st accused at Serrekunda Police Station and upon their arrival they found the 1st accused among the crowd, including PW1 Ramses whom the 1st accused, Ensa Badjie said was a suspect at the time.
He told the court that he handed the said file and the motorbike to the 1st accused who instructed him to go back to his office and get ready to go to the court. The witness informed the court that the 1st accused, Ensa Badjie had also told them that when he released PW1, Ramses, he warned him (PW1) to get out of the country but he never heeded his advice and he had gotten himself into another problem and would now face the penalty. The witness pointed out that since he handed the motorbike and the case file of PW1 to the 1st accused, Ensa Badjie, he never heard anything about the case file or the motorbike.
Responding to the only question asked by defence counsel, Borry Touray during cross-examination, the witness told the court that he was never aware that the 1st accused, Ensa Badjie requested for the case file so that the 1st accused, Ensa Badjie could recommend the case file for prosecution. Hearing continues on the 18th of November 2010 at 1:00pm.
