Principal Magistrate Fatou Lili Drammeh of the Kanifing Magistrates Court has been appointed Master and Registrar of the High Court in Banjul.

Fatou Lili Drammeh, born on the 4th of June 1981 to Lucy Leon Jallow and Halifa Omar Drammeh, attended Marina International School from 1992-1997. She was among the seven students from Marina International School who had merits in the Cambridge based GCS Exams O' levels.

Fatou Lili Drammeh later proceeded for an A' Level course from 1997 to 1999 in Wales, Cardiff and pursued a three-year LLB course in Cardiff. After completing her LLB course, she came back home to get some work experience. She however went back to Cardiff to do her LLM in Commercial Law, specialising on Environmental Law, Money Laundering and Insurance Law.

She took a year off again and proceeded to the Republic of Ghana to join her family. While in Ghana, she decided to pursue her professional law course and after her completion, she was called to the Ghana Bar, but finally came back home and was called to The Gambia Bar on the 11th of January 2010.

Fatou Lili Drammeh did her introduction and thus, started off at the Kanifing Magistrates Court. "I started at Kanifing Magistrates Court under the very able guidance of Justice Joseph Enwa Ikpala and months later, I was overseeing the court when the Principal Magistrate Kayodeh Olajubutu went on a two-week leave and therefore I was acting as the Principal Magistrate before my appointment was confirmed as Principal Magistrate," the newly appointed Master and Registrar of the High Court disclosed. She has since resumed duties as the Master and Registrar of the High Court.
