Suspect Arrested in Connection with Alleged Murder in Brikama Misira

The Gambia Police Force has announced the arrest of 26-year-old Sulayman Saidykhan of Bakary Sambouya in connection with the suspected murder of Fatou Sambou, a resident of Kembujeh Madina.

According to the police, ongoing inquiries have led the suspect to revise key elements of his original account. Saidykhan initially claimed he had previously served in The Gambia Armed Forces and was dismissed in 2014 for drug-related misconduct. During subsequent questioning, he retracted this statement, acknowledging it to be untrue. He clarified that he had only resided at Yundum Barracks with his brother, who is no longer enlisted.

Investigators also report that the military-style trousers the suspect wore at the time of his arrest were provided to him by a friend.

A few weeks ago, we highlighted how outdated and unrefined many of our government websites have become. Please take a moment to review the Ministry of Trade, Industry, Regional Integration and Employment website.

Official government platforms should be clear, easy to navigate, and regularly updated so the public can access accurate and timely information.

Unfortunately, the current website appears poorly designed and resembles the work of an inexperienced developer.

A bold move by MoBSE—keeping our schools safe and our students inspired! 💡📚

The political landscape just shifted.

With a decisive move that sent ripples through the nation’s political circles, Talib Ahmed Bensouda has officially submitted the Unite Movement for Change registration documents to the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC).

This isn’t just paperwork — it’s a bold announcement that the presidential race has a new force to reckon with.

Bensouda, stepping forward with unwavering conviction, declared that his mission is nothing less than to “rescue The Gambia and elevate it into a truly developed nation.” His entry injects fresh energy into an already heated contest, signaling a challenge to the status quo and a call for a new direction.

As the race tightens, one thing is clear: the conversation about The Gambia’s future just became a lot more interesting.
