Principal Magistrate Buba Jawo of the Kanifing Magistrates Court, on Monday, refused to grant bail to one Badou Cham of Serrekunda.  

The magistrate’s refusal came after the accused, Badou Cham, pleaded with the court to grant him bail on the grounds that he was sick and needed to go to the hospital for treatment.  But Magistrate Jawo refused to grant him bail.

Badou Cham is standing trial for attempting to murder one Saine Janha of Serrekunda on May 8.  He had tried to stab Janha with a knife over an amount of D400 which he (Janha) owed him (Badou Cham) but had refused to pay back despite several demands.
The case continues on September 29.  
Inspector Fadera of the the Gambia Police Force represented the IGP.
