one Ousainou Jammeh, accused of attempted rape, before Magistrate Jagne of the
Kanifing Magistrates’ Court.
Touray told the court that he works as a mechanic and recognized the accused person.
He recalled that on 19 September 2014, he and his friend were from Kololi going to Kotu and the compound they were going to has two gates and an incomplete building.
