Senior Magistrate Kumba Sillah-Camara of the Bundung Magistrate’s court, on Tuesday, convicted and sentenced one Nyima Hydara to three months imprisonment without an option of a fine.
Nyima Hydara was reported to have been a surety for one Dembo Koyi who subsequently jumped bail. She was dragged to court to explain why a D10,000 bail bond that she guaranteed should not be forfeited to the state. Narrating the facts of the matter before the court, police prosecutor, Corporal 438 Njie told the court that one Dembo Koyi was arraigned before the Bundung Magistrate’s court for forgery. When the charge sheet was read to Mr Koyi, he pleaded not guilty on February 15, 2008.
He further told the court that on 24th April, 2008, at the Bundung court registrar’s office, Nyima Hydara bailed Dembo Koyi in the sum of D10,000 after the condition of bail had been explained to her. Nyima begged the court for forgiveness.
In her ruling, Senior Magistrate Kumba Sillah-Camara sentenced Nyima Hydara to three-month imprisonment without an option of a fine.
