The commissioner of the Police Intervention Unit (PIU) of the Gambia Police Force, Biran Mbaye, yesterday, testified before Kumba Sillah-Camara of the Bundung Magistrates Court in a civil case involving one Momodou Njie as plaintiff and Ebou Jobe as defendant.

In his testimony, Commissioner Mbaye told the court that the plaintiff,  Momodou Njie, had told him that he had two Mercedes Benz cars that the defendant Ebou Jobe was interested in.

Commissioner Mbaye told the court that Momodou Njie told him that the defendant, Ebou Jobe, had no money but instead wanted to take the two cars in exchange for a piece of land he had in Bijilo.

Mbaye further revealed that Momodou Njie had also told him that he had made a deal with Ebou Jobe wherein Ebou Jobe would give him D50,000 and the said plot of land in place of the two cars. He then added that he advised him (Momodou Njie) that the offer was too small.

In addition, he said he told him to request an additional sum of D30,000. Mbaye informed the court that although all the transactions had been done, the land was never transferred to the name of  the plaintiff.
At that juncture the case was adjourned to September 9, 2008.
