Alagie Dicko faced Principal Magistrate Krubally at Banjul court on fraud charges. The case claims he tricked Ousainey Mahanera out of $170,000 between 2021 and 2024. Dicko supposedly promised to help Arabic schools, support orphans, build gardens, and create water sources for communities across The Gambia.
When asked about the charges, Dicko admitted his guilt. The prosecutor, ASP Sarr, told the judge that police investigators had not finished their work yet. He explained that they brought Dicko to court after keeping him locked up for nearly seven days, mainly to protect his legal rights as a defendant.
ASP Sarr asked the judge for more time, saying they would bring all evidence details at the next court date. Magistrate Krubally listened to both sides before making his decision about what should happen next with this fraud case involving thousands of dollars meant for charity projects.
The judge ordered Dicko back to jail until April 7th. On that day, prosecutors must present their complete evidence package against him. Once they share those details, the court will decide what further steps to take based on his guilty plea and the full facts of how he misused charity money.
