Ousainou Bojang confirms he left his passport and smartphone in Brufut before heading to Senegal. During court cross-examination, he clarified details about his travel and belongings, including a bag left with his sister, Amie, who is also an accused. Evidence was presented, and the trial has been adjourned for further review.
Ousainou Bojang has confirmed that he left his passport and a Techno Spark 8 smartphone at his residence in Brufut Village prior to his departure for Julolom, Senegal. This revelation occurred during his cross-examination in the Banjul High Court before Justice Ebrima Jaiteh, where he was being interrogated regarding his travel arrangements following charges related to the deaths of two police officers and the violent injury of another.
During questioning by Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) A.M. Yusuf, Bojang initially believed he had taken his smartphone. However, he later discovered that it remained plugged into an outlet in his Brufut home. Furthermore, it was established that he had entrusted a bag to his sister, Amie Bojang, who is also accused in the case. This bag reportedly contained his passport, a Gambian residential permit, and an unspecified amount of money.
Bojang also addressed questions regarding his Gambia Revenue Tin Certificates, admitting he had lost one but later obtained a replacement through his Senegalese passport. Following this discussion, DPP Yusuf requested the proceedings be adjourned, which the court granted.
In addition to witness testimonies, several pieces of evidence were accepted by the court, such as a D20,000 receipt from Guaranteed Trust Bank Gambia Limited, a black wool jacket, and a pair of white shoes attributed to Bojang. It is noteworthy that Bojang’s sister, Amie Bojang, faces a single charge as an accessory to murder according to Section 202 of the Criminal Code, Cap 10:01, Volume 3, Laws of The Gambia.
The trial of Ousainou Bojang continues to unfold in the Banjul High Court, where he has been implicated in serious charges, including murder. His confirmations regarding his belongings left in Brufut, as well as the evidence presented, contribute to the ongoing investigation into the events preceding his departure to Senegal. The court proceedings will further examine these details as the case progresses.
