He however did not take a plea, and was escorted back to the police headquarters. He is scheduled to return to court, Wednesday.
According to reports, Nwakaeme was first arrested on Monday, 22 February this year by three plain-clothes security men from the Serekunda police station. The sources indicated that he was escorted to Kairaba Police Station, but later transferred to New Jeshwang Immigration Post, where he was detained until Thursday, 25 February. Sources further said that the following day, he was recalled by personnel from the Serekunda Police Station, who escorted him to Police headquarters, only to be released in the evening without any charge.
Again, on Monday 1st March, sources said the Gambia-based Nigerian national was called by the Police Serious Crime personnel to report to Headquarters. No sooner had he arrived than he was arrested and locked up until today, Monday, March 08, 2010 when he first appeared in court charged with giving false information.
It could be recalled that President Jammeh had in August, 2009, issued warning against human rights defenders, threatening to “cut their necks” if they should ‘bend on sabotaging his government.’ Many people are scared if Jammeh will carry on his threat.
