Assistant Police Superintendent Sanussi Darboe, who served as a member of the investigation panel that was set up to probe the alleged coup plot by Gambian soldiers and a police officer, yesterday testified before the court.
The historic trial before the High Court of The Gambia in Banjul involves: Lance Corporal Sanna Fadera, Sergeant Gibril Darboe, Corporal Ebrima Sannoh and Corporal Omar Njie, all of the Gambia Armed Forces, as well as Sub-inspector Fabakary Jawara of the Gambia Police Force.
Beginning his testimony, the assistant police superintendent said he recognised all the accused persons."Something transpired between me, the first accused Sanna Fadera, third accused Ebrima Sannoh and fifth accused Fabakary Jawara," he said. "For the first accused, I was tasked to take his statement after a joint interrogation before the panel. The same interactions with the third and fifth accused. I was tasked to take their statements."
"He then opted to write his own statement, fill his personal details and write my name as the person who cautioned him. He went further to write his own voluntary statement. At the end of this, he signed and it was endorsed by an independent witness," Mr Darboe relayed, furthering that the accused person was later charged with three counts, all of which he denied.
