Njie's case involving five mobile thefts are pending in the court presided over
by various magistrates.

He was also charged for stealing a mobile phone from one Awa Sisoho of Bakau
worth D15, 000.

In her ruling the presiding Magistrate Kumba Janneh noted that according to
facts narrated by the prosecution the accused Abdoulie Njie snatched the mobile
phone from Mary Kargbo the complainant by covering her eyes with his hands while
she was having a stroll at the Bakau beach. She further added that upon his
arrest, Abdoulie was escorted by the police to the person he stole three
Motorola mobile.

The presiding magistrate further opined that one of the defence witnesses who
testified told the court that the accused has a brother in Europe who sent him
three Nokia mobile phones. The accused at this point showed the police a
Motorola mobile phone. She said that is a clear manifestation that the accused
was guilty of the charges.

In his plea of mitigation the accused urged the court to be lenient with him,
because he is married with three children. He said that his mother is too old
and he is the sole breadwinner for the family and would not have anyone to take
up the responsibility in his absence.

Notwithstanding this he was later sentenced to twelve months in jail.
