A
man called Alfusine Bojang was recently arraigned before Magistrate Hilary
Abeke of the Brikama Magistrates’ Court for being in possession of expired
food.
The particulars of offence stated that the accused, Alfusiane Bojang, on 20 July 2015 at Lamin Market was found in possession of expired goods such as 17 bottles and two five-liter gallons of vinegar, which he believed or knew to be expired.

The accused was granted bail of D500,000 with two Gambian sureties.
The matter was adjourned to 21 December 2015, for hearing.
