THE woman accused of kidnapping 9-day-old baby Mogamat Imaad Sharmar is not a flight risk and should be granted bail with house arrest and weekly reporting to police.

- BY MANDILAKHE TSHWETE

This was the argument of kidnap-accused Sameemah Jacobs's Legal Aid lawyer, Asangezwa Mafuya, as the 37-year-old appeared in the Bellville Magitsrate's Court yesterday for the continuation of her bail application.

Jacobs faces charges of kidnapping and defeating the ends of justice following her arrest just two days after the disappearance of baby Imaad.

The baby was allegedly taken from his mother, Imaan Sharmar (also known as Britney Brandt), on June 28 at Middestad Mall in Bellville.
