One Abdoulie Baldeh, a relative of one Musa Touray, a co-defendant in a 
civil suit had defied a High Court order, as he was caught burying 
charms at the compound of one Joy Buchanan (the plaintiff) at Tranquil 
Village in Brusubi.

The High Court, presided over by Justice Basirou VP Mahoney, on the 6^th 
of May 2010 gave an order and granted an injunction restraining the 
defendants in the said civil suit, by themselves, associates, family 
members, agents, and anyone claiming whatsoever authority from them, 
from making any acts or omission that will derogate or affect the 
plaintiff's quiet enjoyment and occupation of her house in Tranquil, 
Brusubi, pending the determination of substantive suit before the said 
High Court.

It could be recalled that the plaintiff field a civil suit at the said 
High Court against one Musa Touray, the 1^st defendant and Alhaji Ebrima 
Kebbeh of Tranquil Village in the Kombo North District of Western Region.

The presiding judge, however, gave the 1^st defendant 14 days' ultimatum 
to file his statement of defence, but he had refused to do so and the 
court having heard the submissions of the plaintiff counsel, Lawyer 
Uzoma Achigbue, and the counter submissions of the 2^nd defendant 
counsel, lawyer SM Tambedou, proceeded to deliver an order restraining 
the defendants, either by their agents or associates, or family members 
from making any acts to affect the plaintiff's quiet enjoyment and 
occupation of her house.

The plaintiff among others is claiming from the defendants jointly and 
severally the sum of one million and seven hundred thousand dalasis 
(D1.7 M ) being balance of the money transferred by the said plaintiff, 
received by the 1^st defendant for remission to the 2^nd defendant for 
payment of a portion of land of the 2^nd defendant's land in Tranquil, 
Brusubi.

Meanwhile, after the presiding judge made an order restraining the 
defendants either by their agents or associates from interfering with 
the plaintiff's property, Abdoulie Baldeh was last Wednesday caught 
buying criminal charms at the plaintiff's compound. The said Abdoulie 
Baldeh was eventually arrested and taken to Brusubi police station, 
whilst the police are conducting investigations into the alleged act.

According to the plaintiff, there is no record of who prepared the 
charms, where he came from, what the charms were specifically for. It 
was however revealed that the said Abdoulie Baldeh with the 1^st 
defendant's mother, Jariatou Baldeh,were taken to Brusubi police station 
for further investigation.
