The court acknowledged that Sanyang suffers from multiple medical conditions, including a spinal disorder, re**al bleeding, and a mood disorder with depression.

Dr. Bittaye testified that all necessary medical facilities and treatments were available locally, and that Sanyang’s conditions were clinically stable and manageable under appropriate supervision. Although the prison environment may exacerbate discomfort or anxiety, Dr. Bittaye did not certify that required treatment could not be provided within the country or detention system.

In conclusion, the court held that while Sanyang has legitimate health challenges, the absence of a medical certificate explicitly stating the unavailability of treatment in detention was fatal to the application. The court therefore refused bail, emphasizing that Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Act requires a medical certification of unavailability of adequate treatment, not merely an opinion on prison conditions.

The leader of the APP-Sobeya, Essa Mbye Faal, has claimed that the national debt under President Adama Barrow’s administration has exceeded the combined debt accumulated under former presidents Yahya Jammeh and Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara.

Speaking on West Coast Radio, Faal made the remarks while discussing the draft 2026 budget currently before the National Assembly. He said that the country’s debt now stands at approximately D120 billion, with D13 billion of the current budget allocated for debt repayment.

“Out of a budget of less than D59.3 billion, D13 billion goes to debt repayment, the single highest allocation,” Faal said. “That shows we are borrowing heavily. When Jammeh left, the debt was about D70 billion, and now it stands at around D120 billion. What Barrow has taken surpasses what both Jammeh and Jawara took combined.”

Three Migrant Boats From The Gambia Missing, One Intercepted by Moroccan Navy

Four boats carrying migrants from The Gambia have gone missing after departing the country’s coast late last month, with one of the vessels reportedly intercepted by the Moroccan navy, according to Ebrima Migrant Situation.

The group reported that one boat carrying more than 200 migrants including men, women, and children left Lamin Village on Monday, October 27, 2025. The vessel was intercepted by the Moroccan navy on Tuesday evening.

Ebrima Migrant Situation said family members of some passengers confirmed that those aboard were “exhausted and dizzy” but that no deaths had been reported at the time of interception.

Three other boats remain unaccounted for. One of them, carrying nearly 100 migrants of various nationalities, reportedly left Brufut on Sunday, October 26, 2025, at around 1:00 a.m. local time. It has now been eight days since the boat departed, with no verified information about its location or the condition of its passengers.

Additionally, two other boats left Niumi Jinack on Monday, October 27, 2025, carrying hundreds of people, including women and children. As of now, the vessels have been missing for seven days without any contact or signal.

Ebrima Migrant Situation said families and relatives of those on board have expressed growing concern and are calling on authorities to intensify search and rescue efforts to locate the missing boats and ensure the safe return of their passengers.

“I Found Omar Badjie Unconscious and Not Responding to Touches,” Nurse Testifies

The case surrounding the death of Omar Badjie, continued at the Brikama Magistrates’ Court, with Nurse Muhammad Jaiteh of the Mandinaring Health Centre testifying about the circumstances leading to Badjie’s death.

Testifying before the court, Nurse Jaiteh, who serves as the officer-in-charge of the health centre, said Badjie was brought to the facility by police officers on September 22, 2025. Upon examination, he found Badjie unconscious and unresponsive to calls or touch.

“I immediately checked his vital signs, which showed low blood pressure, temperature, and respiration,” Jaiteh said. “We placed him on oxygen and administered medication in an attempt to stabilize his condition.”

Jaiteh told the court that despite the interventions, Badjie’s condition did not improve, prompting him to arrange for an ambulance transfer to Kanifing General Hospital. He also gathered information from the officers who brought Badjie in, who reportedly said they had found him in possession of cannabis and had chased him before discovering him lying down.

The court heard that Badjie was later transferred to Kanifing General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Nurse Jaiteh said he documented all medical procedures conducted and prepared referral documents for the transfer.

Several exhibits, including Jaiteh’s professional qualifications, medical reports, and the patient’s folder, were tendered and admitted into evidence.

The case has been adjourned to November 6, 2025, for further hearing.

The trial of the Anti-PURA protesters before the Kanifing Magistrates’ Court has been adjourned again to December 8, 2025, due to the reported illness of Magistrate Thomas Touray, who is presiding over the case.

The case involves 23 youths charged by the Inspector General of Police (IGP) with unlawful assembly, following an amendment by the prosecution.

The adjournment left many of the accused visibly frustrated, as they said they were only informed of the delay upon arriving at the court. Some expressed disappointment over what they described as a slow judicial process, stressing that “justice delayed is justice denied.”
