A big problem for those who have built their houses on this land.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
By Louise Jobe/ Ndey Sowe
More than fifty compounds were on Thursday demolished in Farato by the Sheriff Division of the high court.
The demolition exercise was carried out by officers of the sheriff Division accompanied by personnel of the Police Intervention Unit.
An officer of the sheriff division who escorted the demolition team, said the area where the demolition was carried out, was owned by Manor Real Housing Estate. He said the matter which was in court, was ruled in favour of manor real estate. The man from the sheriff division also produced two documents that he showed to this reporter, writ of summon and approval letter from the Police dated 12 march 2019 for the PIU to escort the judicial staff. He expressed that they did not carry out the exercise on 12th march 2019 because they received a call from the police headquarters that they should not go ahead with the demolition because there was a problem in Berending and the PIU was going to be needed for the operation.
According to the staff from the Sheriff Division of the High Court, the said compounds were illegally sold to the affected people.
Omar Ndow who was affected by the demolition exercise said: ““I was sitting with my sister when we saw a group of people coming towards us.” He added they were later asked to take out all their belongings from their rooms so that the demolition team could embark on the exercise.
According to him, they demanded to know the reason for the action, but got no answer. He added that they did not receive any notice for the exercise.
He lamented: “All what I have worked for is invested into this house, so losing it in a single day will create another setback for me and my family. We have nothing to do right now, but to rely on God.”

Bakary Sanyang, the governor of West Coast Region has on Tuesday summoned parties to the Farato land dispute barely five days after the Sherrif Division of the High Court demolished more than fifty compounds in the area.
His initiative came on the heels of an investigative report produced by personnel of The Gambia Police Force and the State Intelligence Service on 27th July 2017.
The report states: “For the interest of justice, the panelists recommend that the local authority, that is the Governor of West Coast Region, should sit with the owners of these disputed lands, herein referred to as Medina Nemasu, for lasting solution to be attained.”
Present at yesterday’s mediation talk were Fatou Sowe, the Alkalo of Farato, Momodou Bojang the Alkalo of Farato BojangKunda, Bakary Sanyang the Governor of West Coast Region, Alagie Jobe the Kabilo head of the area and Alagie Bambo Badjie Alkalo of Baffuloto.
Governor Sanyang came out of the meeting and told the victims: “I am very sad about what happened to you. I know you will not invest your money in an area that has problems, but you were not told the truth by the Alkalos. That is what landed you in this problem. Go home and remain calm. Go on your normal business. By the grace of God, I will tell you something on Friday regarding what we agreed on during our discussion. This matter falls within my jurisdiction, I will therefore handle it.”
The Governor on Monday discussed with the victims and the purported land owners.
