Gambia Supreme Court dismisses ex-junta member s immunity claim
Banjul, Gambia (PANA) - A panel of Supreme Court judges led by Chief Justice Hassan B. Jallow has dismissed the constitutional immunity claim by embattled retired Capt. Yankuba Touray, member of the defunct Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council (AFPRC) that brought Yahya Jammeh to power in The Gambia in July 1994, for lack of merit.
The ruling on Wednesday by the country’s apex court has paved way for the High Court to continue with the prosecution of the one-time minister, Touray, for his alleged participation in the murder of finance minister Ousman ‘Koro’ Ceesay.
