Mr. Saine became relieved after the court delivered its verdict. His lawyer Antouman Gaye submitted a ‘no case submission,’ which was accepted by the court. The two counts charges against him are « obtaining registration by false pretence » contrary to section 295 of the Criminal Code and ‘obtaining Gambian Passport by false declaration » contrary to section 31 (H) of the Immigration Act.
