"Survived by neither a wife nor a child, Pa Lamin Darboe, who was physically challenged - handicapped by leprosy – was interred at Old Jeshwang Cemetery.
He had been under detention since his arrest in January 2011, as he had been alleged to have been in possession of 10 kilograms of an illicit drug, cannabis.
But 63-year-old pleaded not guilty to the drug charges levied against him at the magistrates’ court in Kanifing where he was undergoing trial"

AND
"Information reaching this paper has it that the officials of the National Drug Enforcement Agency (NDEA) at the Wellingara police station has severely beaten Muhammed Janneh, a young man resident at Kunkujang Keitaya suspected of being in possession of cannabis sativa and left him paralyzed. He is said to be walking with the support of two wooden crutches."
