Almamo Sillah was arraigned on Monday 17 July 2023 before Magistrate E.J.C. Dunn at the Kanifing Magistrate Court and charged with multiple counts of criminal damages.

He was charged with breaking into a building with the intention to commit felony, stealing a mobile phone marked, iPhone 11 pro max valued at D80,000.00 (eighty thousand dalasis) and iPod valued at D3,500.00 (three thousand five hundred dalasis).

He further went and assaulted one Abdoulie Sankareh by smashing his hands with a Crow Bar and causing actual bodily harm and willfully and unlawfully broke the window burglar proof of the house of Kaddy Sankareh the defendant.

The alleged criminal pleaded not guilty to all counts. Prosecutor Jammeh objected to the court granting bail to the accused person as he might run away and that would be the end of the case.

He added that the accused attempted to escape on several occasions but he was caught and taken to the Manjai Police Station.

The prosecuting officer added that the accused might commit similar offence as the accused had no means of living except stealing, and urged the court to judicially and judiciously not grant him bail.

The accused person further sought medical attention due to the bruises he said the police inflicted on him at the time of his arrest which magistrate Dunn granted to him but denied him bail.

The case was adjourned till 24 July 2023.
