“ Ousainou met the Chief De Garage in Jululung and told him that he (Ousainou) was looking for help because something mistakenly happened. Then the Chief De Garage directed him to my house” she stated.
According to PW3, Ousainou ask her to help him with an amulet and money to go to Zinguinchor because he killed two police officers and the 3rd one is at the hospital.
Still testifying, PW3 said “after saying that, he (Ousainou) told me that he wants to perform ablution and pray.

Explaining how Ousainou Bojang was arrested by the Senegalese police.
PW3 said, she called the Senegalese police and informed them that Ousainou is in her compound. “When I called the Senegalese police, I asked them whether they are aware of the killing that happened in The Gambia and they said yes. They further asked whether I have his picture and voice note I said yes and they asked me to send it to them. They then told me to sit and wait for them but shouldn’t make Ousainou know that they (Senegalese police) are coming for him. They then came, handcuffed his hands and took him away”, she stated.
PW3 said she later called one Musa Camara who is working at Gambia revenue authority and told him Ousainou is with her. Musa then told her to wait for him to call the police. “I met with some Gambia police officers at Giboro then I left for Jululung with them” she said.
