Krubally, Jawo in court today over Gambia gay practice charge

Magistrate I. Jallow denied bail for two men facing charges under Gambian criminal law on Tuesday. Muhammed Krubally and Muhammed Jawo appeared before the Brusubi Magistrates' Court without legal representation. Assistant Superintendent O. Bobb represented police interests during the proceedings. The defendants entered not guilty pleas when the charges were read aloud. Both men face accusations stemming from alleged conduct on May 18, 2025.

Police allege the pair engaged in prohibited activities at Old Yundum within the West Coast Region. The prosecution filed charges under Section 147(1) of the Criminal Code. Authorities describe the alleged behavior as grossly indecent between males. ASP Bobb argued against releasing the defendants on bail. She expressed concerns about potential repeat offenses if the court granted freedom.

The prosecutor warned that similar cases appear frequently in modern society. She stated that releasing the accused could endanger community safety. Magistrate Jallow accepted the prosecution's arguments against bail. The court ordered both defendants to remain in custody until trial begins. The case returns to court on Thursday, July 31, 2025.
