I wonder if this includes prosecution counsels?

Principal Magistrate Buba Jawo of the Kanifing Magistrates Court, has
stressed that his court will not make any unnecessary adjournment in the absence of
litigants, without any tangible reasons.
Principal Magistrate Jawo issued this warning on Wednesday, after a series of
adjournment in the court, due to the absence of litigants, as well as their
counsel.
He revealed that the court is not obliged to notify anybody to come to court
once a sermon is issued.
“Any litigant who absent themselves from coming to the court without
presenting any tangible reasons would be held liable for breach of recognition and
the court may be forced to carry on with the case (s) and pass judgements even
in absentia,” the magistrate warned, adding that the court would, under no
circumstances, adjourned cases unless valid reasons are advanced.
Principal Magistrate Jawo observed that litigants, especially accused persons
are “notorious” for such acts and noted that such occurrences would not be
condoned by his court.
“Anytime they do not come to court, we will carry on with the cases and
anything that happens, is their problem,” he reiterated.
