A Gambian court convicted Ousman Jagne for destroying family property during late May. Magistrate Thomas Touray heard the case at Kanifing Magistrates Court on Thursday. Jagne admitted guilt to malicious damage charges under the country's criminal code. The judge fined him 2,500 dalasi or six months behind bars if he cannot pay. Prosecutor Cadet Inspector M. Jammeh presented evidence about the May 28 incident at Dippa Kunda.

Jagne broke expensive items belonging to his relative during the destructive episode. He smashed a Samsung 65-inch television, two glass doors and a ceiling fan at the property. The damaged goods belonged to complainant Fatou Bojang who identified Jagne as her grandmother's son. Court records did not specify the total value of destroyed items during testimony. The incident happened within Kanifing Municipality boundaries according to charging documents.

Bojang forgave her relative and already started fixing the broken property. She replaced the glass doors and ceiling fan before the court hearing. The complainant plans to repair the television within several days of the judgment. Bojang told the magistrate she wants no money from Jagne for the damages. Touray praised both parties and urged them to keep peace between their families.
