Ousainou Bojang Confirms Leaving Passport and Smartphone Before…

Ousainou Bojang testified that he left his passport and smartphone at home before going to Senegal. He admitted to the DPP that he had forgotten the smartphone and left a bag with his sister, which contained his passport and other items. Bojang is on trial for the murder of two police officers, and his sister is charged as an accessory.

Ousainou Bojang confirmed during cross-examination on Wednesday that he left his passport and a Techno Spark 8 smartphone at his residence in Brufut Village prior to his departure to Senegal. This information was divulged while he testified before Justice Ebrima Jaiteh at the Banjul High Court, during questioning by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), AM Yusuf.

Bojang initially stated that he believed he had taken his smartphone with him. However, upon further inquiry, he realized that he had actually left it plugged into the socket of his sitting room at Brufut. Additionally, he revealed that he had handed a bag containing his passport, a Gambian residential permit, and a sum of money to his sister, Amie Bojang, who is also implicated in the case.

When questioned about the Gambia Revenue Tin Certificates he held, Bojang admitted to having lost one but later managed to acquire a replacement using his Senegalese passport. Following this testimony, DPP Yusuf requested an adjournment, which the court granted.

The court proceedings also resulted in the admission of various items into evidence, including a D20,000 receipt from Guaranteed Trust Bank Gambia Limited, a wool black jacket, and a pair of white shoes attributed to Bojang. Furthermore, records indicate that his sister, Amie Bojang, faces a charge related to being an accessory to murder under Section 202 of the Criminal Code, Cap 10:01, Volume 3, Laws of The Gambia 200.

In conclusion, Ousainou Bojang’s trial continues with significant revelations about his departure to Senegal, including the items he left behind. His admission regarding the smartphone and passport, as well as the evidence presented, highlights the ongoing complexities of the case. The court will proceed with further evaluations as both Bojang and his sister, Amie, await the outcome of the charges against them.
