The Real Jatta: Court Ruling sheds Light on Identity Mystery
The Hamburg-Altona District Court has delivered a significant verdict in the case of HSV professional Bakery Jatta, effectively confirming that he is indeed the original individual, while Bakary Daffeh was an assumed identity used for a period of time. This ruling is a major victory for both Jatta and his supporters.
The court’s decision suggests that Jatta, in 2011, presented himself as two years older than his actual age, Bakary daffeh, to gain eligibility to play in Gambia’s and later nigeria’s first divisions. Upon arriving in Germany in 2015, he reverted to his true identity.
This revelation sheds light on the curious disappearance of Daffeh from public records since 2015 and explains Jatta’s use of an email address under Daffeh’s name.
The question of Jatta’s true identity first surfaced in 2019 when SPORT BILD and BILD investigated the numerous inconsistencies surrounding his background. At the time, Jatta declined to comment.Now, the court has provided a definitive answer: the Gambian U20 international Daffeh was likely Jatta all along.
In the wake of this court victory, it is imperative for Jatta to come forward and share his complete story with the public. Openness and honesty are crucial for rebuilding trust and moving forward.

it’s all guesswork.
