Elhajj
Yaya will never put these to trial simply because he is one of them.
Both you and i know that when he put them to trial the whole truth
will come out and that will not be good for him.
I can tell you one thing those who shot Lawyer Sillah will never Face trial.
These acts have happened over and again and not a single person have
been put on trial.
I for one didnt see the need to take Baba Jobe to court, it seems they have
all their plans set. They could have just arrested him and deal with him
directly.
