Alhaji Abdoulie P.O. Njie is seeking 20-years worth of dividends from his British business partner, Bryan Oral Smith, after winning a two-decade long court battle over the ownership of City Limits Radio.

Speaking to reporters in Pipeline, Mr Njie 

described how he was forcefully evicted from the radio station and denied his rights as a co-owner. 

He said he was not paid any dividends from the radio’s profits for over 20 years. 

And that his business partner sued him at the High Court in Banjul over ownership of the radio in 2002. The case went on for years and in 2015 the judge ruled in his favour. 

“I got the judgement that I won the case, that the radio should pay my dividends from the day I was sued untill the day of the judgement,” Mr Njie told reporters.

“But the management that was there [my former partner and the team] did not comply with the judgement. 

“I’ve given them chance to arrange themselves and pay the dividends as requested by the court. 

“And the court also ordered for the radio station’s finances to be audited,” he said

Mr Njie continued: “All this period I discovered that the radio was making money, but with the account that we have before they closed it. 

“So, about six years ago, they opened a Jula account at Reliance. The money the radio is generating, any adverts that comes in, they will pay it in the account and take it out the same day.

“The radio doesn’t keep any money in the account. I have the financial statement.”

Bryan Oral Smith has been contacted for comment.
