Diminga Gomez on Wednesday 12th denied being allocated a plot of land in an ongoing criminal suit of 107 counts filed against Lamin Mboge before Justice Sherriff B. Tabally of Brikama High Court in West Coast Region.
Diminga Gomez accused the proprietor of Gam Housing of failing to allocate to her 20×25 square meters plot of land at Fallah Village in Kombo South while noting that Lamin Mbogehas made her wasted her time and resources by going to Gam Housing Estate Company at Kotu for follow-ups regarding her plot of land.
Gomez stressed that she was given an Alkalo land transfer of ownership document that was issued by David C. Mendy, the Alkalo of Fallah Village, and the certificate of ownership from the Brikama Area Council in 2018 after paying ninety thousand Dalasi (D90,000) but she was not allocated a plot of any land. She noted that the Gam Housing Estate Company (the accused, Lamin Mboge) promised to give her a plot of land after the demarcation of the plots but failed.
Police prosecutor Corporal Lamin Bangura at this moment pleaded for the court to admit and mark the Alkalo land transfer of the ownership document and the Certificate of ownership obtained from the Brikama Area Council as exhibits and the documents were admitted and marked as exhibit B and C.
However, defence counsel B Touray put it to PW1, DimingaGomez, of signing the Alkalo land transfer document, noting that she was given a plot of land by the accused, Lamin Mboge.
Diminga Gomez strongly denied being given a plot of land from the accused, Ebrima Mboge, stressing that such never happened.
In brief, the accused, Lamin Mboge is on trial in the court on 107 counts which include obtaining money with false pretences.
