Gambia News : Final report on Death of Ghanaians in Gambia out
The Ghananian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alhaji
Mohammed Mumuni returned home yesterday from Abuja, Nigeria, at the
government delegation that attended the special hearing of the joint
UN-ECOWAS fact-finding team on the death and disappearance of 44
Ghanaians and other West African nationals in the Gambia.
The
other member of the delegation is the Minister for the Interior, Cletus
Avoka, officials and team of legal personnel from the two Ministries.
Presenting
a seven-page statement on the final report of the fact-finding team on
the circumstances surrounding the death and disappearance of Ghanaian
nationals in the Gambia in 2005, Alhaji Mumuni said Ghana’s delegation
though with some reservations, accepted the entirety of the report on
the grounds that findings, conclusions and the recommendations were
consistent with the principles of justice, human rights and
international law.
The statement said the eight-month
investigations established that the West Africans including the 44
Ghanaians were victims of a scam perpetuated by one Captain Taylor and
Lamine Tumkara a Gambian to transport them to Europe by sea.
The
findings also established that members of the Gambian security service
acting on their own took active part in the death and disappearance of
the West African nationals including the Ghanaians.
The
Foreign Minister stated that even though the report blamed rogue
elements within the Gambian security for the morbid act, it did not
find the state of Gambia or its leadership to the Ghanaians.
