A Gambian court charged Mr. Touray with theft after prosecutors alleged he stole a refrigerator worth thirteen thousand dalasis from Abdoulie Jallow. The incident reportedly happened at Bakoteh Housing Estate within Kanifing Municipality during July 2025. Touray entered a not guilty plea when authorities presented the charges against him. Prosecutors then requested additional time to present witnesses who would support their case. Magistrate Sowe determined the offense qualified for bail under current criminal procedure laws and constitutional provisions.
The magistrate established bail at fifteen thousand dalasis with strict requirements for the defendant. Touray must secure a Gambian citizen as surety who will pledge the same amount through sworn affidavit. Court officials require the surety to submit valid identification documents and provide complete residential information for verification through telecommunications operators. The surety bears complete responsibility for ensuring Touray appears at all court proceedings. The case will resume on August 4, 2025, when prosecution witnesses will testify.
