"I don't want to see the Gambia to be in the same situation like Burundi, Ethiopia and Liberia. There is hunger there because of war.

"Innocent people are dying for the sake of self-interest of a  single group," he had told the Banjul High Court.

He had told the Court that he previously trained Mercenaries in Sierra Leone in a place called Thunder Hill Kissymismis.

Meanwhile, under Cross-examination by the Defense lawyer, the said witness admitted that he had any permission from the Guinea Bissau authorities to conduct military training in their territory. And, he said he did not know whether the Bissau authorities were aware of his unauthorized military training on their territory.

He admitted that apart from his oral evidence, he could not produce any evidence to show the existence of the alleged training camp, or mercenaries. He could also not remember when he started the alleged training.
