One
Fatou Badjie of Jabang village recently appeared before principal magistrate
Omar Cham of the Brikama Magistrates’ Court, charged with prohibition of
conduct conductive to a breach of the peace.
According to the particulars of offence, the
accused, Fatou Badjie, on 19 February 2017, at Jabang village women’s garden,
used abusive words against President Adama Barrow and one Awa Jabang, with
intent to cause a breach of the peace, and thereby committed an offence.
She
denied any wrongdoing.
Police
prosecutor Sgt 2202 Fadera applied to the court to deny her bail, as the
investigation is still ongoing.
He
said if the accused person was given bail she could abscond from the
jurisdiction, and might also continue to commit the same offence at the women’s
garden in Jabang village.
The
application was granted and the accused person was remanded at the remand wing
of the State Central Prison of Mile 2.
The
matter was adjourned until 2 March 2017, for hearing.
