Defence lawyer requests witness’s call records in alleged PIU shooter case

On his cross examination before Justice E. Jaiteh of the High Court, defence lawyer filed a summon on notice for the court to give order to the two GSM operators to produce Mama Jabbie’s call records.

The witness further testified that she had two telephones and one had Africell and the other Qcell, adding that she did not know the numbers off-head but she was able to recognise the numbers when defence lawyer LJ Darboe read them to her in court.
She said she used to receive calls and get insulted. “That's why I removed my Qcell SIM card,” she said.

She explained that after the Jululung officers took the accused away from her friend’s compound, subsequently, she called Musa Camara who was working at the Gambia Revenue Authority and informed him that “the killer” was there with her.

She said she met Musa Camara once when they were travelling together from Jululung to The Gambia, and also he was the one she knew at the police and had his number, adding that Musa Camara told her to wait while he called the Gambia Police.

Subsequently, she said she received a call from Musa and was asked to meet him with the Gambia Police at Giboro. After the call, she narrated, she boarded a motorcycle to the said place and met with them and they moved to Jululung.

She concluded that Ousainou was handed over to the Gambia police by the Jululung officers at the Seleti border.

However, she said she did not receive any payment to capture the accused, Ousainou Bojang, and was not aware of the Gambian president’s one million bounty for anyone who would capture the accused.

She further revealed that when Ousainou arrived at her compound on Wednesday around 2 p.m., he was directed by the leader of Jululung garage, adding that Ousainou found her with a friend who was cooking while she was on the phone talking.

The case was adjourned until 28 November 2023.
