The accused persons are Amos Uchechukwu, Ifeanyi Nwachukwu Ifesinachi and Irabor Blessing.
According to the particulars of offence on count one, some time in 2012 in the Kanifing Municipality, they did commit an offence when they willfully caused the loss of D43,143.78 to Gamtel by illegally diverting Africell international calls without routing same through the international gateway, which act was detrimental to the economy of The Gambia.
Count two stated that Amos Uchechukwu, Ifeanyi Nwachukwu Ifesinachi, and Irobor Blessing, some time in 2012 in the Kanifing Municipality, did commit an offence when they conspired to defraud Gamtel of D43,143.78 by illegally diverting Africell international calls without routing same through the international gateway, and thereby committed an offence.
They all denied the charges preferred against them.
