A Gambian guy, Momodou Wurry Jallow, and a Sierra Leonean dude, Kaaba Yankee, both got slapped with 100k dalasi bail after getting pinched for allegedly jacking solar panels from the NAWEC plant in Jambur. Each needs two Gambian co-signers and they both said they didn't do it when they rolled up to Brikama Magistrates' Court.
The supervisor from the solar facility testified that someone boosted 15 panels a couple of years back and locals found eight but seven stayed missing. When cops caught up with the accused this year, they had panels matching the serial numbers from inventory. The first defendant asked the magistrate to go easy since his kids' school situation was getting wrecked while he sat in lockup and the case got pushed to next month.
