Magistrate
Omar Cham of the Banjul Magistrates’ Court yesterday did not appear in court in
the case involving Tina Faal, former National Assembly Member.
The
clerk of the court said the magistrate was indisposed, and that the case was
adjourned until 16 August 2016.
Combeh
Gaye, Tina Faal’s lawyer, was in court but the accused person herself was not
brought to court.
On
10 August 2016, the court clerk stated that the magistrate was “indisposed” and
this was why the case did not proceed.
Tina
Faal denied any wrongdoing when she was arraigned and charged with conspiracy,
obtaining goods by false pretence and theft.
She
was subsequently granted bail.
