"He said the Governor told them to come to his office to look in the files to see whether there are any records. He said the Governor invited the Physical Planning and NIA official at Brikama to the meeting at his office. He said they told them that the file was not in the records apart from Gam Petroleum. He said the Governor advised them not to do anything that one day the truth will come out. He said the Governor told Mr. Ousman Ceesay not to remove the pegs that were put at his land. He said the Governor came with delegations from the NIA, Physical Planning and others to visit the place. He said they told the villagers that they were not informed, but advised them to keep a low profile."
