| Amadou Sanneh (ThePoint) |
The
Special Criminal Division was packed with family members, love ones and well as
well wishers as the National Treasurer of the opposition United Democratic
Party, was being escorted to the courtroom by plain cloth officers.
After
one week in the hands of the National Intelligent Agency, Amadou Sanneh, Sambou
Fatty and Malang Fatty were arraigned before Justice Nkea at the High Court in
Banjul.
Sanneh and
two others were arrested and since then have been have been in custody at the
headquarters of the National Intelligence Agency in Banjul over what the NIA
described as a failed attempt to help a young man seek political asylum in
Finland.
The
state have brought charge(s) against all the accused but they could not take
their plea. Sambou Fatty whose appearance prompts the judge to ask what was wrong
with him is yet secure the services of a lawyer. The same thing goes to Malang
Fatty.
Sambou
couldn’t stand straight while on the dock, he was twisting throughout before
the court order that he should be made to see a doctor at the Edward Francis
Small Teaching hospital.
