The Brikama Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday convicted Sulayman Darboe, a Brikama resident, and sentenced him to one year in prison with hard labor after he pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy and theft. Darboe appeared before Magistrate K.B. Sambou alongside co-accused Gibril Sanneh, who pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Darboe and Sanneh, both Gambians from Brikama, faced two counts of conspiracy to commit a felony and theft, as outlined in Sections 341 and 226 of The Gambia's Criminal Offenses Act 2025. The charges stemmed from an incident on August 31, 2025, in which the two allegedly conspired to steal a Techno Spark 7 mobile phone, valued at D8,000, belonging to Nyima Sanyang of Jamisa.

Magistrate Sambou sentenced Darboe to one year imprisonment with hard labor on the first count and ordered him to pay D8,000 in compensation to the complainant on the second count. Failure to pay would result in an additional six months in prison. The case for the second accused, Gibril Sanneh, was adjourned to October 20, 2025, for further testimony.
