In order to support its case against the accused, the prosecution, led by Police Sergeant Keita, called four witnesses.
In his judgment, Principal Magistrate Omar Jabang stated that the accused was accused of stealing D8,000.000.00 by maintaining balances in his cash account and later transferring those balances to the accounts of Momodou L. Kanteh and Fatou Mboge.
Magistrate Jabang stated that the production of the accused person’s ID CBM statement of account, as well as those of Momodou L. Kanteh and Fatou Mboge, are crucial to the issue’s facts.
According to Magistrate Jabang, the production will provide specifics regarding the nature of the theft as described by the prosecution witnesses.
