The ongoing criminal trial of D37,000, involving Sunkaru Dumbuya of the Kanifing Industrial Area, on Thursday, suffered a setback at the Kanifing Magistrates’ Court, presided over by Magistrate Pa Harry Jammeh.

When the case was called in by the court clerk for continuation of the hearings, Police Prosecutor 870 Touray informed the court that he wanted an adjournment, noting that the last witness that he intended to call in was not reachable. “He is a KMC police personnel and I want an adjournment to enable him to appear before this court,” he said.

At that juncture, Presiding Magistrate Jammeh granted the application and accordingly adjourned the case to 17th July, 2007. The case continues.

Mr. Bangura has been standing trial for allegedly stealing a mobile phone at the Kairaba Police Station. However, he denied the charge preferred against him.
