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!

Anyway, it is one story too many involving Gambia and fake dollars. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Accra Mail (Accra) January 29, 2003 Posted to the web January 28, 2003 Isaac Essel Accra 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Make allAfrica.com your home page _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
