Police and security brutality is not welcome and can never be welcomed by any God fearing person in this world and shouldn’t be applauded when it’s done to certain individuals.
We should join hands to condemn it in together, as it may occurred to you or your family when applauded today.

I can recall when Mr. Madi Jobarteh used the words in the picture to describe the people of Foni Kansala for protesting against the ECOMIC and Police brutality, until an innocent man was sh@t de@d during the protest. These were his words 7 years ago and today, it happened to him.

So we should all condemn police and security brutality in any form in our country and not to applaud them for their ill actions as it may one day happen to you.

From Yamuna Darboe, eight (8) years apart, different tunes and lack of consistency.

In 2017 was when he supported the then government and the recent one is when he is in the opposing side.
The same Gambia police force that a lot of citizens were condemning years ago for their actions.

Eminent Danger at Barra Terminal

I am no herbinger of doom but with what I see looming at the Banjul - Barra terminal, a terrible DISASTER is eminent! Imagine the ram moving while vehicles cross! What kind of madness is that?

As the ferry duck at the Barra terminal, the ram was visibly moving up and down unable to settle. A vehicle will come from the terminal and mount the ram to force it down but if an incoming vehicle from the ferry doesn’t pounce quickly as the one on the ram retrieves, the ram goes up again, visibly shaking left and right. I was struck with fear when the bus I boarded tried to disembark the ferry. As the two front wheels mount the ram leaving the ferry, the ram ascended instead of descending and the two hind wheels couldn’t mount, a terrible show to behold. We were halfway inside the ferry and have way out, struggling to disembark. We came face to face with disaster. Without divine intervention, our bus could have plunged backwards if the ferry had just retreated a little bit.

I want to sincerely call on government to seriously look into the ferry issues again to avoid a disaster of epic proportion. People’s lives are in danger daily and nothing significant seem to be done about it. Currently, it’s impossible for a pedestrian to enter the ferry without cruising through water and that in itself is both disgusting as it is inconvenient. With all the revenue generated at the ferries and considering the fact that it’s people fundamental human rights to move freely and safely within their country, a solution still seems elusive to the Ferry Services. I pray to God something quick is done to ensure that those whose livelihood depends on crossing do so safely and conveniently.

I am giving you a TODAY scenario of the ferry services and you can go and verify yourself. If something isn’t done NOW, anything can happen. And when it does…God forbid, government and GFS will be responsible. Don’t say I haven’t warned you.

Police Urge Prosecution of Former IEC Chairman Over Corruption Allegations

Police investigators have recommended that Alieu Momar Njai, the former chairman of the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC), face charges of corruption and abuse of office, according to The Republic, which says it has reviewed a confidential police report.

The recommendation follows a ten-month probe triggered by a special audit into the IEC’s finances. The audit, conducted in 2024, flagged serious irregularities, including the transfer of more than 301 million dalasis into the private bank accounts of returning officers for election expenses. Auditors reportedly raised concerns after the IEC failed to provide bank statements to account for the spending.

According to The Republic, investigators concluded that Mr. Njai authorized nearly 16 million dalasis in unauthorized allowances to IEC staff. Police are also urging charges against the commission’s finance director, Anthony Robert Secka, accusing him of both negligence and diverting public funds into private accounts.

The report further highlights that the IEC allegedly overpaid a contractor by close to $100,000 and breached government procurement procedures.

Mr. Njai, now 91, is celebrated for presiding over the 2016 election that ended Yahya Jammeh’s decades-long rule. He stepped down from the IEC earlier this year.

The case file has been submitted to the Ministry of Justice, which will decide whether to proceed with charges against the former officials.

Why is the GAF still detaining the 8 soldiers who stopped the Oil Smuggling???

PRESS RELEASE:

GAMBIA ARMED FORCES DISMISS SEVEN PERSONNEL FOR CONDUCT PREJUDICIAL TO GOOD ORDER AND DISCIPLINE

Banjul, Wednesday 19 August 2025: The Gambia Armed Forces (GAF) wishes to inform the general public that seven of its personnel have been officially dismissed with immediate effect for acts constituting Conduct Prejudicial to Good Order and Discipline, contrary to Section 78 (1) of the Gambia Armed Forces Act (GAFA) 1985, Cap 19:01 Vol IV Revised Laws of The Gambia. Their dismissal was premised upon the conclusion of an internal investigation into serious breaches of operational conduct and military discipline.

This action follows the arrest of two privately owned speed boats and a yacht on 14 May, 5 and 12 June 2025, linked to activities that compromised national security and the integrity of our naval operations.

Investigations led by military intelligence, in collaboration with relevant security agencies, uncovered compelling evidence of deliberate and coordinated misconduct. Among the findings were:

a.​ The unauthorized preparation and launching of two privately owned speed boats.

b.​ Cell site analysis and communications data revealing direct involvement of the dismissed personnel.

c.​ Corroborated statements and observation of coordinated movement among the individuals involved.

d.​ Receipt of monetary rewards and other material benefits, including Tobaski rams.

e.​ Compromised Operational Integrity and betrayal of assigned duties.

Notably, the individuals were found to have aided a clandestine network operating under the guise of ALTIMA SEA SPORT LIMITED, which is currently under scrutiny for activities inconsistent with its declared purpose.

As a result, the following personnel have been dismissed from the GAF with immediate effect:

a. Lieutenant (N)Abba Nyassi
b. Fleet Chief Petty Officer (FCPO) Musa Dampha
c. Warrant Officer Class 2 (WO2) Ismaila Jobe
d. Chief Petty Officer (CPO) Musa Jammeh
e. Chief Petty Officer (CPO) Alagie Secka
f. Chief Petty Officer (CPO) Ebou Marong
g. Leading Seaman (LS) Lamin DK Sanneh

The dismissed personnel, acted in direct violation of military ethics, oath of service, and national trust. Their continued presence in the Armed Forces particularly within the Navy would pose a clear and unacceptable risk to operational security and mission integrity.

The Gambia Armed Forces upholds a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of collusion, corruption, or compromise of our core values. The actions of these individuals were not isolated lapses in judgment but organized and premeditated acts that undermined public trust and the integrity of the service.

This decisive action underscores the GAF’s unwavering commitment to upholding discipline, maintaining professional standards, and safeguarding the integrity of the institution. The Armed Forces leadership wishes to reassure the public that indiscipline or misconduct of any kind will not be tolerated, and appropriate measures will always be taken to protect the image, values, and operational effectiveness of the Gambia Armed Forces.

The Gambia Armed Forces remains resolute in its duty to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of The Gambia, while upholding the highest standards of military discipline and public trust.
