LAWYER DENTON AND COLONEL TAMBA TESTIFY
By Bubacarr K Sowe
Mariama Denton, a legal practitioner and Colonel Lang Tombong Tamba, the Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) of the Gambia Armed Forces on Wednesday testified in the treason trial involving Tamsir Jasseh, Alieu Jobe, Omar Keita (Faal) and Demba Dem.
Denton told the court that while at her home in Churchill’s Town on the 23rd of March, 2006, Tamsir Jasseh came to her house; that she asked Mr. Jasseh where he was coming from, and Jasseh answered that he went to Jiboro to drop Colonel Ndure Cham, the ex-CDS. Denton said she told Mr. Jasseh to see the authorities, since Colonel Cham is wanted.
In a cross examination by defence counsel, Lamin S. Camara, Denton said she does not know where Jiboro is, but noted it is in the Western Division of the Gambia.
Also testifying in court, Colonel Lang Tombong Tamba said on the 21st of March, at about 16:30 hours, while at his home after closing from work, he was called over the phone by one Corporal Mbye.
Tamba said that Corporal Mbye suggested to him to cancel his travelling, noting that he had an urgent information for him. Colonel Tamba added that he was then informed by Corporal Mbye that the former CDS, Colonel Ndure Cham was planning to over throw the elected government of President Yahya Jammeh. According to Colonel Tamba, Corporal Mbye said he was in Ndure Cham’s Office, where he informed him of the planned coup and was later referred by Cham to Captain Bunja Darboe’s office, as Cham left for a National Security Council meeting.
Tamba said that Mbye was again told by Darboe that they want to topple the government and would need his support, which Mbye disagreed to. Tamba testified that Mbye told him he was invited by Ndure Cham to his house for further discussion, where he recorded the meeting through a tape recorder given to him by Colonel Tamba. He added that they listened to the cassette at his residence at Mile 7 with Lieutenant Lamin Badjie.
Tamba also said that he then informed the then Inspector General of Police; Ousman Sonko, The Commanding Officer of the State Guards; Serigne Modou Njie and Commander of the Military Training School; Captain Ousman Badjie, who all listened to the tape.
The Army Chief added that he then ordered the arrest of Captain Darboe and all others involved, after which he instituted an investigation panel.
The panel he said comprised of the armed forces, the police and the intelligence agency. He recalled some of them in court as;
Momodou Hydara, Demba Sowe, Malamin Ceesay, Nfanding Jabang, Boto Keita, Yusupha Faye, Ousman Bojang, Malick Ceesay, Lamin Tambajang, Abdoulie Sowe, Lamin Ndure and others he could not remember in court.
He indicated that the panel comprised of thirteen (13) members, who submitted a report at the end of their findings.
Cross-examination was brief as the defence requested for an adjournment to prepare for it. Defence Counsel asked him what rank he had, and he answered “Colonel.”

I ask you sir to wait before jumpimg to conclusion. havent you ever heard of conspiracy . the army is good at framing people . when you are frame ,there is no way of you clearing your name. so this guys could still be frame big time ,and if ndure cham and co are aware they will definately run .it could still be a conspiracy ,or more appropriately a SET-UP. THE INITIAL STORY GOES AS A COUP PLOT INVOLVING LANTONBONG TAMBA,PETER AND NDURE CHAM .so why did peter and tamba never went to jail.
the inside story is jammeh want to clear the army of all proper soldiers .he only want young soldiers who are yes sir bosser. look at those implicated ,they are mostly senior officers who serve the army for a long time. yaya want only officers who enlisted during his presidency ,and the rest will be extra loyal officers like tamba and co. |

Santa, there was a coup in deed. Why was captain Camara at Earth Station asking for the Director of International Operations? You want to tell me the conspirators connived with these Gamtel staff??. The next day of the alledged coup i asked credible people who were in the security apparutus and they confirmed this. I don't know of the previous ones , but this one was spot on. |

This is a real Kabunka going by his name Wassa. Lalo Kebba said, when the Fulaman was asked to choose between Disgrace and Death, the Fulaman chose death becos it is more dignified. The Kabunka would have chosen Disgrace
