A pipeline father, who is said to be in his 40s, is in court for allegedly raping her daughter's 14-year-old friend and impregnating her. 

The matter is before Principal Magistrate Isatou Sallah-Mbye of the Kanifing Magistrates' Court. 

The girl's uncle disclosed to What's On-Gambia: "My niece gave birth to a baby girl. Ebou Ceesay is still denying the accusations against him. His family is appealing for the case to be withdrawn and they will take care of the girl and the child, but Ebou beh balang ding.

"Initially, he confessed that he had sex with the girl and the time frame matches with the pregnancy period. The court might order a DNA test to establish legal paternity."
