Malafi begs court

Lawyer Lamin Camara, the counsel for Supt Manlafi Sanyang, has made an application asking  the Banjul Magistrates Court to review the bail condition for his  client.

In his application yesterday, before Magistrate Kayode, Lawyer Camara said for the accused to get a surety who must be a senior civil servant in the rank of a permanent secretary as a condition “is tactically impossible”.
 
He assured the court that if the bail condition is reviewed, the surety must ensure that the accused is present in court anytime he is needed.

Responding to an application by Inspector Yaya Touray to adjourn the case for two weeks, Lawyer Camara objected to the application, saying that there is need to expedite the case against the accused.

”My client is still under detention; therefore, to adjourn the case for a forthnight will not be in his interest,” he submitted.

Inspector Yaya Touray had earlier on informed the court that he would like to consolidate the charges against Supt Manlafi Sanyang, Lt Bakary Camara and Dominico Fedeli on the next adjourned date.

The case was later adjourned to  March 12.
