Two imams that went against the closure of mosques by President Adama Barrow have been fined D2000 each after they pleaded guilty to the crime.

Imams Karamo Camara of Brikama Jidda and Yusupha Camara of Brikama Daslameh were arrested mid last month after they presided over the Muslim Friday congregational prayers.

The two have now had their day in court.

Police spokesman Lamin Njie (not the author of this story) told The Fatu Network: “The two Imams arrested at Brikama Jidda and Daslameh respectively were arraigned before court this morning.

“They pleaded guilty to charges and awarded a fine of D2000 each in default to serve one month imprisonment.”
