Gambia: 40 Aspirant Migrants Arrested

Jul 03,2007 by

gambia Almost forty (40) would be migrants, most of them Gambians, were rounded up by the police and subsequently arrested at 'Wharfi Njago' in Banjul. They were detained at the Police Headquarters.

According to our sources, the youths who attempted to sail to Spain through the Canary Islands, were interrupted when the police received a tip off about their motives. Sources added that the aspirant migrants include Gambians and non Gambians from different parts of the country.

However, the police Spokesperson, Inspector Sulayman Secka, confirmed the arrest and detention of the would be migrants. He told Foroyaa that most of them were granted police bail but that some are still being detained due to their failure to meet the bail condition; that all of them will be released when they fulfill the bail requirements. PRO Secka added that he did not know whether they were charged or will be charged, and whether they will be taken before a court of law. He finally said, "the journey is risky. I think youths should desist from attempting to take such a dangerous journey to travel to Europe."

On Friday this reporter found out that a good number of them had been released on bail but did not know the bail conditions.
