A Tallinding man received a five-year prison sentence at Bundung magistrates' court for robbery. Principal Magistrate D Phatty ordered Modou Lamin Sanyang to pay compensation of D1700 or face an additional year behind bars. The court said both sentences must run one after another.
Sanyang threw sand into the eyes of Jacinta Ilo, a school teacher. During the attack, he stole her bag. The stolen items included a Techno Spark phone worth D6000, a Nokia phone valued at D1000, cash amounting to D800, earbuds, a wallet, and keys.
The court found Sanyang guilty on a single robbery charge after hearing evidence about the attack. Law enforcement officers arrested him following the incident. The victim testified about her experience during the trial proceedings.
