‘I confronted Oley on the missing money’

Abdourahman Bah, the second accused person in the ongoing criminal case of conspiracy and theft filed in by the state against him and Oley Sey, ex-nominated member of the National Assembly, has told the court that he personally confronted Oley Sey about the missing D400,000 given to her.

“I told her to explain what happened to the D400,000 I gave her,” he said.
According to the accused, confrontation came after a heated debate concerning the whereabouts of the money at the office of the SoS for Basic and Secondary Education in Banjul.

Mr Bah made these remarks whilst responding to a question as to whether he intended to question Yankuba Colley, the KMC mayor, at the end of the mayor’s evidence-in-chief.

Mr Bah informed the court that he told the mayor in his Kanifing office that the money (D500,000) was in safe hands but after a series of discussions, he admitted giving D400,000 to Oley Sey, while retaining D100,000 from which he had already spent D20,000.
Abdourahman Bah is without legal representation at the trial.
