A Gambian magistrate withdrew bail for two defendants accused of defrauding victims of 250,000 dalasi after they missed multiple court appearances. Muaa Bojang and Abdou Camara face charges under Section 288 of the Criminal Code for obtaining money through deception.
Prosecuting officer Sgt. M.J. Sallah told Magistrate M.S. Dem at Brikama Magistrate's Court on Thursday that both men had skipped two previous hearings. Bojang claimed illness prevented his attendance but provided no medical documentation to support his statement.
Magistrate Dem revoked Bojang's release and authorized a warrant for Camara's arrest. The court scheduled testimony from the first prosecution witness for Thursday, November 13.
