A witness just dropped a bomb in a messy civil lawsuit over hidden cash. Abdoulie Saine testified that former Gampetroleum boss Saikou Drammeh hid a one million euro payment, with help from a lawyer. Saine also said he saw Drammeh take cash from Haruna Kebbeh, the brother of co-defendant Khadijatou Kebbeh, and even filmed the handoff. The opposing lawyer, BS Conteh, tried to shred the evidence, arguing the silent video did not clearly show who was involved.
Saine stood by his story, saying he later confronted Drammeh at a police station to demand repayment. The hearing got heated with objections, forcing Justice Jaiteh to tell lawyers to stick to questions. Drammeh's own counsel then pushed to enter new police statements into the record, which the judge allowed for limited review, citing the need for a full picture to assess credibility.
With the witness heading to Sweden soon, the court left the door open for more questioning. The whole case now boils down to a few key fights, like whether that huge euro transfer actually happened, if the video proof is legit, and what role that lawyer played. The judge will have to sort through the conflicting stories and documents to make a call.
