Operation Bulldozer, a brain-child of the Gambian leader,Yahya Jammeh: POTO/MSJoof |
OperationBulldozer, a brain-child of the Gambian leader, was setup in May 2012 for what
Yahya Jammeh said was meant to “clean the country of criminals.”
Sanneh, a soldier, was recently arraigned at
the Kanifing Municipality Magistrates’ Court and charged with three counts of “abuse
of office, corrupt practices, and destroying evidence.”
He is also alleged to have sold heroin, a
prohibited drug to one Vesna Faye Milosavljevic for the purpose of gaining
money.
Sanneh has since last week denied the
charges and is being represented by Counsel Moses B. Johnson Richards.
On Monday, October 8, he made his second
appearance before Magistrate Sheriff B. Tabally, presiding. However, the case
could not proceed due to the defence counsel’s conspicuous absence.
Police prosecutor Chief Inspector Jammeh
told the court that the prosecution has served the counsel (Mosses B. Johnson Richards)
with the document on the resumption of the case, which he said the counsel
confirmed.
Inspector Jammeh also informed the court of
the presence of his witness, however, that could not stop Magistrate Tabally
from adjourning the case on the basis of the absence of the defemce
counsel.
Tabally also warned that he court shall
discharge the case if the defence counsel fail to appear in the next adjourned
date of15 October, 2012.
