Three Years Jotna Leaders Appeared in court

The High Court in Banjul has started hearing trial of Three Years Jotna leaders following last month’s dischargement of the leaders of the banned pressure group.

They were rearrested by the police and pressed with the same charges they have been facing since 2019, following their protest against President Adama Barrow’s government.

“We are back at the High Court today at 12pm to begin the second trial of the same charges against us, 3 Years Jotna leadership! The matter is now before Justice Achibonga of the High Court! The same charges were before Justice Bakare from 2020 to 2021, which the State withdrew at a point of replying to Defences’ No Case to Answer Submissions, on 10 February 2021. Now that same State has brought back the same charges for a new trial before a new Judge! Catch the full details of what will transpire in a dedicated chapter on this matter in my future book publication!” Yankuba Darbo one of the leaders said on his Facebook.

He urged the Three Years Jotna that the struggle continues “to remind and hold President Adama Barrow of his 3 Years pledge to the Gambian people!!!”
