A judgement date in a forgery case involving Abdoulie Sosseh, former Vice President of Gambia National Transport, Agricultural and Workers Union, was on Friday, given a seven-day extension.

Mr Sosseh has been standing trial for forging the membership cards and letter heads of union, at the Brikama Magistrates' Court.

When the case resumed last week, the court was told that presiding Magistrate John Njie is recuperating from an illness that rendered him indisposable.

During the previous sitting, Mr Sosseh told the court that the change of the union's   membership card and letter head was agreed upon by the general membership.
