Magistrate Isatou Jallow of the Brusubi Magistrates’ Court on Monday, August 11, 2025, adjourned all proceedings involving accused persons remanded at Mile II Central Prison after the prison vehicle transporting them broke down.

Despite the magistrate being fully prepared to record court proceedings, she was unable to proceed because the accused individuals were absent. The prosecuting officer informed the court that the prison could not provide an alternative vehicle to bring the accused to court. The information was communicated in the morning session, prompting Magistrate Jallow to adjourn all related cases. New hearing dates will be scheduled in due course.
