Kidnapping-accused Sameemah Jacobs plans to go on 'religious excursion' in bombshell bail bid

- GENEVIEVE SERRA

ALLEGED baby snatcher, Sameemah Jacobs told the Bellville Magistrate's Court that she plans to apply to amend her bail conditions in order to be part of a “religious excursion”.

Jacobs dropped the bombshell yesterday with the State set to prove that she kidnapped baby Imaad Sharmar from his mother, Imaan Sharmar, at Middestad Mall in Bellville in June, under the pretence that she was a volunteer for an NPO.

Jacobs appeared confident and chirpy in the dock, dressed in a pardah.

The infant's family has since called for the application to be opposed, after Jacobs was granted R4 000 bail in July.

At court, the State prosecutor Salaahudeen Simon informed the court that Jacobs’ legal aid practitioner was not present due to a car accident.
