Three guys met up with Magistrate Thomas Touray at Kanifing Magistrates' Court yesterday because they faced theft charges. The police accused Bubacarr Jawo, Muhammed Jabbie Drammeh, and Essa Jah of teaming up to steal stuff. Court papers claimed these three men stole an iPhone X worth D10,000 from someone named Essa Gassama. The theft happened on January 20, 2025, at Tavan Kololi in Kanifing.

The police charged them with two different crimes. First, they said the men planned a crime together, breaking Section 368 of the Criminal Code. Second, they accused them of taking property that belonged to someone else, breaking Section 252. When asked how they wanted to respond, Bubacarr Jawo admitted he did both things. The other two guys said they didn't do anything wrong.

Because Jawo admitted everything, Magistrate Touray sent him straight to jail. He must stay locked up for one year on the first charge. Then, he served another year for the second charge. The judge made him pay back the cost of the phone to Gassama. He also must pay a fine of D3,500 or spend a third year behind bars if he can't come up with the cash.

Chief Inspector Ena Jallow asked the court for more time before continuing the case against the other two men. They need to bring witnesses next time. The court agreed to this plan. Everyone will come back to court on March 27, 2025, when the judge will figure out what happens to Drammeh and Jah since they claim they're innocent.
