By Editor 

A Gambian man, Lamin Badjie, has been remanded in prison for allegedly assaulting his wife and seriously injuring one of her eyes after she served him a meal he didn’t like.

 Badjie was arraigned before the Brikama Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, July 2, 2026 where he pleaded guilty to assault causing actual bodily harm.

The court fined Lamin D100,000 and ordered him to pay an additional D100,000 in compensation to his wife.

It was learnt that his wife, Fatou Sanneh, alleged that the incident started after an argument over dinner last Tuesday.


“My husband was out, and when he came home, he asked me to serve him dinner. I gave him nyankatang mixed with benachin, but while he was eating, he kept complaining that he didn’t want the food. I asked if he wanted nyankatang by itself, but he continued complaining,” she explained.

“He then asked me to bring him some water. As I was going to get it, he spat on me. I told him to stop. After I gave him the water and was walking away, he followed me, threw the bowl in front of me, and started beat!ng me. His aunt intervened and pulled me away from him.


“I then told him that a man who beats his wife does not live long. He became even angrier and started beat!ng me again until he injured my eye.”

Fatou said she was first rushed to Kanilai Health Centre before being referred to Bwiam General Hospital, where she was admitted overnight for treatment.

The couple have two children together
