UDP STALWART STILL MISSING
By Fabakary B. Ceesay
The family members of the United Democratic Party (UDP) stalwart, Kanyiba Kanyi, have expressed shock over the arrest and detention of their family member, who was picked up by security agents at his home village at Bonto, Kombo East, since 18th September 2006.
According to family sources, Mr. Kanyi was picked up by plain cloth officers who were on board a taxi. They said one of the officers identified himself as Mr. Barrow. The family members noted that there was a short conversation between Mr. Kanyi and the officers, before he was pushed into the taxi and quickly whisked away.
However, family members said they have moved heaven and earth to locate the whereabout of their bread winner. They asserted that sources told them that Mr. Kanyi is either detained at Tanji or Kartong Police Station. They lamented that, they have gone to Tanji and Kartong Police Stations, but they did not see him. They added that they also went to the NIA and Police Headquarters but their efforts bore no fruit. Meanwhile, Wandifa Kanyi, a brother to the arrestee was also arrested by the security agents on the same date. He was said to have spent the night at the Serious Crime Unit at Banjul, but was released the following day, 19th September.
When contacted, the police Spokesperson, Superintendent Aziz Bojang on the detention of Mr. Kanyi, the Police Spokesperson promised to follow up the matter.
