NIA 2 case transferred to Kanifing

Monday, November 17, 2008

The criminal case involving two NIA officers, Demba Sowe and Babucarr Jallow, has been transferred from the Banjul Magistrates Court to Kanifing Magistrates Court.

This development came during the last sitting when the prosecution announced that there were fresh charges to be levied against the two officers.

The two security operatives are charged with abuse of office, stealing and conspiracy to commit felony.

The duo had been granted bail earlier on but could not fulfil the bail conditions which stipulated that their surety should be either a police commissioner or  the director general of the NIA.

The defense counsel then applied for the review of the bail condition which was subsequently granted.
