By: Isatou Sarr 

A certain Ebrima Jallow appeared before Magistrate A. Fofana at the Brikama Magistrates’ Court on Monday on charges of “threatening violence” contrary to section 84 (a) of the Criminal Code, Cap 10:01, Vol. 3 of the Laws of The Gambia.

The prosecution alleged that Ebrima on or about 16 December 2024, at Rumba village in Kombo South, with intent to intimidate or annoy, threatened to kill one Rabiatou Jallow.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Consequently, Sgt. 4422 M.L Sallah applied for anadjournment to secure the prosecution’s witnesses.

The court granted the prosecution’s application and the matter was then adjourned to 14 January 2025, for the full trial. 

Ebrima was meanwhile granted bail in the sum of D10,000.00 with one Gambian surety, who shall depose to an affidavit of means, and the surety shall deposit a valid national ID card or passport to the registrar of court.
