Gambia News : Africell Dream House Winner Not Dead

Widespread rumours claimed that Mr. Alagie Badjie, who was at time of being declared winner of the Africell Dream House hospitalised at the Royal Victoria Hospital, had passed away.

This has however led to several calls and visits by people from different walks of life including Africell fans, to call Africell’s head office expressing their sympathy with the company and Mr. Badjie’s family.

Interestingly enough, The Point yesterday visited Mr. Badjie at his residence and in an exclusive interview, he said he is still alive and strong, contrary to the rumours.

According to Mr. Badjie, who has now fully recovered, his family was shocked and worried about the rumour that he was dead. “Am not dead. I Am still alive and I thank God for keeping me alive,” he said.

“I heard that I was dead. Even the nurses at the hospital tell me that it is being rumoured in town that I am dead but I believe those saying so are making a big mistake. God forbid if I died today, I know it is the will of God and not anyone else’s will.”

He went on to thank all those who were behind him most especially the doctors at the hospital and his family and all Gambians for the continued support.

Mr. Badjie also commended Africell for the support noting that with Africell every thing is alright. “It is not because of the house that I am saying this but because of the company’s contribution to nation building”.

“It went to the extent that people were querying whether I was dead or not. God’s time is the best. If people say that I am dead whilst I’m alive, I believe that is just to be regarded as a rumour,” he concluded.
