Mr. Musa Ndow, a reporter with the Daily Observer newspaper, is expected to testify in the murder trial of Sheriff Minteh. The hearing will take place on 29 July 2008.

Mr Ndow’s appearance before the court was necessitated by Defence Counsel Lamin Camara’s wish uttered in court last Monday that he intended to call Musa Ndow to testify because of a story he wrote on the accused published on 11 May 2007.

The trial has been adjourned on many occasions due to lack of witnesses.
