A Banjul High Court judge received medical findings on Tuesday for former military officer Abdoulie Sanyang from Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital. Chief Medical Director Mustapha Bittaye testified that Sanyang suffers from spinal problems, rectal bleeding, and psychiatric illness after examining the defendant. Bittaye warned that Mile II Remand Wing conditions could worsen Sanyang's state and noted the rectal bleeding began 11 years earlier when questioned by prosecutor Saikou Lamin Jobarteh.
Justice Ebrima Jaiteh asked whether hospital staff could perform surgery similar to the procedures Sanyang received in Switzerland. Bittaye confirmed the facility has that capability. Sanyang faces charges of arson and obstructing court processes related to Ousainou Bonjang's case, who stands accused of killing two police officers and wounding a third.
