DETENTION WITHOUT ACCESS PERSIST
By Modou Jonga
A source close to the family of Sergeant Buba Jammeh has revealed to Foroyaa that their access to the detained loved one is being denied.
Sergeant Jammeh of the Sate Guard has been in detention for over seven Months now. He was arrested, at his work place in June last year, in the wake of the Freedom Newspaper scandal.
Family sources alleged that they were denied access to Sergeant Jammeh by authorities at the Central Prison (mile 2). They alleged that Sergeant Jammeh was on November 2006 transferred from his detention cell at the NIA headquarters to the Central Prison without their knowledge.
Sources disclosed that the prison authorities have indicated to them that they are instructed to disallow people to have access to Sergeant Jammeh.
This denial of access, said the sources, and the continue detention of their breadwinner have caused serious psychological strain and difficulties not only to his four children but also the entire family.
While being concerned with the health condition of Sergeant, a family member expressed doubt about their relative being an informant of the said newspaper.
The source told this reporter that Sergeant Jammeh was never arraigned before any court of law.
