Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Former junta member and one-time minister of Local Government and Lands, Yankuba Touray will know his fate as the Gambia Court of Appeal set yesterday to deliver judgment in his appeal.<\/b><\/p>\n

Mr. Touray who was sentenced to death by hanging by the high court in 2021 has filed an appeal before the court of appeal challenging the lower court decision after he was found guilty of taking part in the murder of Ousman \u2018Koro\u2019 Ceesay a former junta finance minister who mysteriously died in June 1995.
