The case was adjourned because the presiding Magistrate was indisposed. The accused persons on the last adjourned date, pleaded not guilty to count one, two and three, but all of them pleaded guilty to count four, except Nuha Jammeh, the third accused person.

The particulars of the offence for the accused persons, stated that between 2004-2006, while in diverse places in The Gambia, the accused persons conspired to carry out acts of terrorism against the neighbouring state of Senegal, in a manner prejudicial to public security and national defence of The Gambia, and thereby committing an offence on count one.

On count two, the accused persons in the same period between 2004-2006 in diverse places in The Gambia, allegedly collected photographs or documents of a confidential nature concerning security installations in The Gambia, which may be directly or indirectly useful to an enemy.

Count three stated that the accused persons in the same period, received military equipment from Sam Kambai, knowing or having reason to believe that it was feloniously obtained.

On count four, the accused persons falsely acquired Gambian National Identity Cards.

However, Magistrate B Y Camara, earlier advised the accused persons to secure the services of a legal representative, adding that the charges they are facing are very serious.

Meanwhile, he said he will not grant them bail.
