The Corporate Service Manager at Gambega, Ebeauzar Paisay Armoh, on 21 July 2011 testified in favour of Gambega against one Amadou Wuri Jallow, a businessman, before Magistrate Ngube of the Kanifing Magistrates’ Court.

He adduced that he knew the defendant, and had cause to deal with him.
He added that the defendant was given facilities as his customer, adding that the MCD (Manual Distribution Centre) operated with the defendant on credit basis.
He further said that they supplied the defendant and, when the invoices were due, he paid for them.
He added that the defendant paid on account i.e. part of the whole amount, and not paying the entire sum on the face of the invoice.
He narrated that by November 2010, the defendant was owing D1, 237, 570, adding that the defendant was requested to pay the sum.
