The trial of Abdou Aziz Dampha, an agent of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), who was charged with giving false information to a public officer, was on Wednesday adjourned to September 24.

When the case was called before Principal Magistrate Edrisa Mbai of the Banjul Magistrates Court, the prosecution officer, Inspector Keita, applied for an adjournment as his witness was not in court.

According to  Inspector Keita, he intended to call three witnesses but unfortunately all three were then out of the jurisdiction. The police prosecutor was also quick to inform the court that the said witnesses will be within the jurisdiction by the 24th of September 2008.

The presiding magistrate then granted the application and adjourned the case.
