President Jonathan's Food-Poisoning Suit In Gambian Court by silami(m): 4:38am On Dec 25, 2013
A Gambian Magistrates’ Court at Kanifing Municipal Council has begun the hearing of a food poisoning trial involving President Goodluck Jonathan, his delegation and Gambia’s five-star hotel,Coco Ocean, an online media, Shanghai Daily.com reports.

Jonathan was said to have been served with food that had been preserved for a long period, causing him food poisoning during his two-day state visit in Gambia in November 2013.

According to the online medium, the Gambian police had charged the chef of Coco Ocean Hotel, Ayoub Aliris, with negligence and food poisoning on Jonathan and his delegation.

But Aliris denied the charge when he appeared before the Principal Magistrate, Sheriff Tabally.

According to the police charge sheet, Aliris was said to have unlawfully or negligently cooked prawns served to Jonathan and his entourage as a starter during a special lunch hosted in honour of the visiting Nigerian president.
When the matter came up yesterday, the police prosecutor, Superintendent Touray, appeared before the court together with defence lawyer, Edward Singhateh.

But Magistrate Tabally, who was expected to preside over the matter, was absent. He was said to have travelled to the capital less than 9 km away from the magistrate’s court.

Lawyer to the plaintiff, Edward Singhateh, was also informed at the court premises that his client, Aliris, was arrested again for the second time after his release from the police custody.

The plaintiff was said to be under the custody of the National Intelligence Agency, but was later transferred to the State Central Prison Mile Two.

Jonathan was caught in a glare of media publicity over a “stomach upset” he suffered and was forced to enter a hospital in London to seek medical attention.

A prosecution witness, Babucarr Gomez, also a cook at Coco Ocean, explained that a day after the lunch, he received a call from his boss informing him that there was an infection in the food served to the Nigerians.

Gomez, who said he was ordered by Aliris to prepare the food, said he also ate it and was “vomiting, experienced stomach ache and frequented the toilet.”

As the saying goes "no smoke without fire." Saharareporters should have investigated properly before claiming the president was hospitalised due to alcohol. May the good God please guide and protect our President. No weapon fashion against the President shall prosper in Jesus name, Amen!

It should worry that with all the high profile issues generating a lot of heat and anger against this presidency, some of them having great international dimensions, Jonathan still flies around almost every week eating whatever he is served by any chef. The first line of defense is to watch what you eat, then what you touch. If you must fly, travel with your most trusted chef. His handlers must be jokers.

Nice one, it's extremely annoying when people don't trouble themselves to read the op before commenting.

However, it's funny that in your self appointed capacity as an English language comprehension enforcer, you haven't tackled those simpletons that are insinuating that 'food poisoning' = 'deliberate poison using toxic substances'. Any plans to remedy this glaring omission?
