The Former Junta member of the Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council – Yankuba Touray, who was recently sentenced to death for the murder of former Gambian Finance minister – Ousman Koro Ceesay in 1995, has filed a petition before the country’s Court of Appeal.
The ally of former president Yahya Jammeh and then minister of local government and lands is challenging both his conviction and sentencing by the High Court two weeks ago.
In the petition, the former junta member raised several grounds of appeal which he urged the appeal Court to look into.
The case is however expected to be heard in the next legal year beginning October 2021.
