One Ebrima Bojang of Brikama town will soon know his fate at the Brikama Magistrates' Court presided over by Magistrate Johnny Njie following his plea of guilty for stealing a goat.

According to the offence the accused Ebrima Bojong on 16th September 2008 at Brikama stole a goat valued at D1500 being the property of one Yerro Sowe.

The case was adjourned to 15th October 2008 for Judgement.

In a separate development the trial of one Modou K. Darboe could not proceed at the Brikama Magistrates' Court presided over by Magistrate Johnny Njie as the accused defence counsel was not in court.

It could be recalled that the accused Modou K. Darboe was alleged some this year at Brikama to have obtained the sum of D60,000 from one seedy Jarra, D20,000 from Modou S. Jallow and D20,000 from Ebrima Keita with the representation that he was to facilitate them to travel to Denmark with the Gambia Scout Association to attend the International Scout Jamburee which representation he knew to be false or does not believed it to be true.

The case was adjourned to 23rd October 2008.
