The judgment over the ownership of a cattle track, located at Brikama Dewons, was not delivered on Wednesday, March 26, as expected. A civil suit was filed by the district authority of Kombo Central District, headed by the chief, at the Kombo Central District Tribunal, headed by the same chief. The suit is against his brother, one Jereba Kully Bojang, over the legal ownership of the said cattle track.
When the suit was called, on March 26, 2008, the defendant was present. Subsequently, the president of the Kombo Central District Tribunal, Chief Bakary Dembo Santang Bojang, said the elders of Brufut had made an appeal to him on the said dispute and which he considered. Chief Bojang thus defered judgement to Wednesday, 2 April, 2008.
Reports indicate that the Brufut elders visited the said cattle track and are concerned about settling the said dispute out of court, since the district chief is a brother to the defendant. According to the particulars of the suit, the defendant has refused advice to quit the said cattle track, since early 2007. The defendant is said to have settled on the said cattle track.
No evidence was adduced, but the president of the tribunal (the chief) did promise to deliver judgment on March 26.
