The trial involving Momarr Sowe accused of engaging in homosexual acts yesterday commenced in chambers before Justice Abi of the Banjul High Court.
The trial Judge, Justice Abi, on 24 February 2015 ruled that the witnesses would testify in chambers following the application made by state counsel A.M. Yusuph to protect their identity, as they are state security officials.
The particulars of offence in count one stated that Momarr Sowe, sometime in 2002 at Brusubi in the West Coast region, conspired with Modou Lamin Conateh to engage in homosexual acts.
Count two stated that Momarr Sowe, at Brusubi in the West Coast Region, conspired with Modou Lamin Conateh to engage in homosexual acts.
