The magistrates court in Brikama has struck out a case of land involving the alkalo of Old Yundum Borry Jassey.
The Brikama Magistrates Court struck out the land case between Borry Jassey Alkali and and businessman Landing Jadama on Tuesday on grounds the court does not have the jurisdiction to hear the case.
The move came following an application made by the senior state counsel S.O Sibbie in April for the court to strike out the case.
State Counsel O.S Sibbie argued that Landing Jadama is facing trial at the High Court of the Gambia over the same land located at Old Yundum Village, measuring 190m by 115m by 50m by 80m by 115m by 235m.
Jadama, of Brufut, had sued the alkalo over the land claiming it belongs to him. Jadama will now continue his battle as a defendant at the High Court of the Gambia, as a law suit is against him there over the same land.
