Koto Sidi,
Unfortunate the Gambia has become a safe haven for any criminal with a few
dollars. Years ago not only did we learn with dismay that Futanke Babaning
Sissokho was carrying a Gambia Diplomatic passport, the Gambia's
representative here in the US came to his defense when he was in jail for
bribery. Do not be surprised to see them in Accra defending this Yaya
fellow.

As my grandma used to say,  "whenever Yahya is finished with the Gambia, our
country would not be worth toilet paper". Shame on them!

Malanding

An Accra regional circuit tribunal on Monday remanded Mr. Kletus Yaya, a
Gambian national, in custody for possessing one million forged United States
dollars. Yaya has pleaded not guilty and is to re-appear on February 3.

The Prosecutor, Chief Superintendent Joseph Kofi Adu, told the court that,
Yaya arrived in the country on January 6, 2003.

He said seven days after his arrival, Yaya met Mr. Emmanuel Agyemang (the
complainant), a businessman at Achimota and in the course of their
conversation he told Agyemang that he had a box containing one million US
dollars with Kofi, a customs officer and needed money to clear the box.

The prosecution said on January 18, Agyemang and Yaya met Kofi and gave him
an amount of 1.2 million cedis after which he released the box to them, and
Agyemang kept the box in his room.

Two days later, Agyemang took 500 dollars out to change but was told that
the money was fake ones.

He subsequently reported Yaya to the police. Investigations proved that all
the money was fake and Yaya was arraigned before court.
