Lang Balla Sawo, the suspended president of the Gambia Dock and Maritime Workers Union, has petitioned the Banjul High Court to order the Gambia Ports Authority to pay him D1 million for alleged wrongful interference in his office. Sawo is also seeking a declaration that his suspension is null and void, and that his removal from the board of directors of the Dock Labour Company, Gambia Limited, is unlawful.
