Magistrate Mbackeh of the Kanifing Magistrates’ Court has ordered the police to advertise in the local newspapers, radios and television, the ram recovered from a Senegalese for identification by the owner.

Senior Magistrate Abdoulie Mbackeh made this remark last Monday after sentencing Omar M’baye to six months imprisonment for stealing the ram, which is valued at D4, 500.

In his ruling, Magistrate Mbackeh told the court that the accused was a first offender according to police records, and this, coupled with his plea for mercy had made the court to exercise some degree of leniency.

He further ruled that the accused be deported back to his native country after serving his sentence.
