Petty Officer, Gibril Darboe on Wednesday, 21st June 2023 affirmed his telephone communication with Lance Corporal Sanna Fadera as he continued with his defence in the ongoing coup plotters trial at the Banjul High Court before Justice BasiruVP Mahoney
The Naval Officer, Gibril Darboe agreed with the State Counsel Lamin Jarjue regarding his telephone communication with Lance Corporal Sanna Fadera, the ringleader of the December 2022 coup plot against the President of the Republic of The Gambia.
Meanwhile, Gibril Darboe denied the presence of the 1st accused Lance Corporal Sanna Fadera in his compound on the 18th of December 2022 for an alleged meeting of the coup plot, noting that his junior, Sanna Fadeera, never visit him in KafutaVillage.
However, according to exhibit P 10 called list record, the 2nd accused Gibril Darboe communicated with the 1st accused, Sanna Fadera while he (Sanna Fadera) was at Brikama Mini Stadium at 11:00 am on the 18th December 2022.
Officer Gibril Darboe’s slam on the incredibility of the instructor, Sergeant Karamo Jatta brought heated objections on his credibility by the counsel L.L. Darboe and the State counsel L. Jarjue.
Defense Counsel L. L. Darboe pleaded that the court should grant him to ask his client why he said Sergeant Karamo Jattawas an incredible instructor.
Justice VP Mahoney overruled his plea but gave him the chance to ask any other question regarding the columns of the December 18th call list record.
This led to the re-examination of the 2nd accused, Gibril Darboe before the court come to a close for the day.
