SIBANOR O.C SENT TO JANJANGBUREH PRISON
By Yaya Dampha and Modou Jonga
On Thursday August 14th the Officer Commanding Sibanor Police Station, Asst. Superintendent Abdoulie Colley, was arrested by the Security forces and sent to Janjangbureh Prison.
According to sources close to the police, OC Colley’s arrest came in the wake of fresh fighting in the troubled Senegalese region of Cassamance. OC Colley is alleged to have transported wounded rebel fighters to hospital for treatment. It is also alleged that Gambian soldiers patrolling the border had a confrontation with the runaway rebels some of whom were captured. It is further alleged that these GNA soldiers patrolling the border in the Foni came to the Sibanor Police Station in order to communicate information to their superiors but were blocked by OC Colley. It is alleged that because of this move by OC Colley, he was accused of siding with the rebels, and was apprehended and taken to the Janjangbureh Prison, after being taken to Kanilai first.
Readers can recall that Foroyaa reported the admission of some unidentified men with gunshot wounds at the RVTH last week. A family source informed this paper that OC Colley is said to be in detention for the past three days but cannot ascertain the reason and whereabout of his detention. The family however indicated that they preferred to give the matter a low profile and promised to talk to the press if substantial information has been gathered about the detention of their loved one, whom they regarded as the breadwinner of their family. They said they did not have access to him and they cannot tell where he is being held.
When contacted, Police PRO, Aziz Bojang, confirmed to this reporter that OC Colley is detained but asserted that he would not reveal the reasons for his detention nor his whereabout.
