The trial of the alleged Kanilai protesters yesterday failed to proceed before the Magistrate’s Court in Brikama.
When the case was called, the police prosecutor Inspector Karafa Gibba informed the court that their case file is at the Attorney General’s Chambers.

“Your worship our file is with the AG Chambers upon their request, therefore we are asking for two weeks adjournment,” Inspector Gibba told the court.
The accused persons were present in court yesterday except the 5th accused Samboujang Badgie, the 11th accused Assan Badgie and their Lawyer Ebrahima Jallow.
