During the proceedings, Bojang presented a range of items as evidence, including a seized jacket, shoes, clothing, and a receipt for a D20,000 deposit.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Bojang, represented by Counsel Lamin J. Darboe, has now completed the questioning phase of his defense, as he seeks to clear himself of the serious charges against him.<\/p>\n<p>Counsel Darboe resumed from where he had left off the previous day, requesting the prosecution (DPP) to provide the misplaced receipt for the D20,000 deposit. The DPP complied and handed over the receipt, which was promptly confirmed by Bojang. With no objections from the prosecution, Counsel Darboe applied to have the receipt for the D20,000 deposit into the Guarantee Trust Bank account of Bojang\u2019s partner, Claudette Francis, entered into evidence. The receipt was duly admitted and marked as Exhibit.\u201dCan you tell the court items taken from your house?\u201d Counsel Darboe asked<\/p>\n<p>Ousainou Bojang revealed that several items, including a white shoe, a black jacket, and some of his clothes soaked in his laundry bucket, were also confiscated by the police.<\/p>\n<p>Counsel Lamin J. Darboe requested that the witness describe the jacket, which he identified as a black jacket with some stitching, and noted that the inside of the jacket featured camouflage.<\/p>\n<p>Counsel Darboe then applied to tender the black jacket into evidence, to which there was no objection from the Director of Public Prosecution, A.M. Yusuf. The judge marked the black jacket as Exhibit D29 and admitted it into evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Ousainou was then asked if he could identify the shoe if it were shown to him, and he confirmed that he could. When presented with the shoe, he identified it as the one taken from his house.<\/p>\n<p>Counsel Darboe applied to tender the shoe into evidence, and with no objection from the Director of Public Prosecution A.M. Yusuf, the presiding judge, Justice, marked the shoe as Exhibit D30 and admitted it into evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the other items in the bucket, Ousainou explained that his house contained a bucket with two T-shirts, black pants, and some dirty clothes. He also mentioned that his kaftan and Qcell router were taken from the house.<\/p>\n<p>After completing his testimony, it was time for the Director of Public Prosecutions, A.M. Yusuf, to cross-examine him, seeking to discredit his statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr Bojang, it\u2019s true that when you are travelling to Jululung, you only have one of your simple phones,\u201d DPP A.M. Yusuf asked.\u201dI have two phones, one simple and a smartphone, but I left the smartphone in my house while going to Casamance. I thought I had the phone with me, only to recognize it wasn\u2019t with me. Rather, I left it home,\u201d Ousainou answered<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs it correct that when you\u2019re travelling you left your passport, ID card, and other documents with your sister?\u201d A.M Yusuf asked<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, when I arrived at the border, I removed money to pay for the fare, and I gave my passport, ID card, and Residential Permit to my sister, telling her that I would not spend a day where I was going,\u201d Ousainou answered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow many ID cards did you have,\u201d DPP A.M. Yusuf inquired<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have one ID card now,\u201d Ousainou replied<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere is it,\u201d DPP. A.M. Yusuf asked<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the police,\u201d Ousainou answered<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow many smartphones do you have,\u201d DPP. A.M Yusuf asked<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have one smartphone,\u201d Ousainou replied<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, that was your first smartphone,\u201d DPP A.M Yusuf asked \u201cNo, I had a smartphone before, and it got spoiled, and I got another before this smartphone,\u201d Ousainou explained.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
