Gambia News : Where is Jarsaja Kujabi ?
The family members of Sarja Kujabi, aka Jarsaja of Foni Dobong, who disappeared more than three years ago, said they are too anxious to know the whereabouts of their family head. They said the disappearance of their bread winner is causing both economic and psychological havoc within his family of four wives and fourteen children.
According to the family, Mr. Kujabi was picked up by two plain clothes State agents, whom they identified as Ousman Tamba and M.L Badjie, a driver at the NIA. They said that Jarsaja was found working at his farm on the highway at his home village of Dobong in the Foni Kansala District of Western Region. According to the family, Jarsaja was told by those who came for him that he was urgently needed by the president. They added that he was in a happy mood and even requested them to take him home to change his clothes as he was in his farming clothes.
"Since the rainy season of 2005, we have never set our eyes on our dear family head. We did not even know where they took him. We did everything we can to establish his whereabouts but to no avail," says one of the aggrieved family members.
The family members lamented the anguish and suffering that the disappearance of Jarsaja has brought them. They said that the entire members of the extended family of Jarsaja are affected in one way or the other by his disappearance. They prayed for divine intervention to help in the release of their husband, father, brother and uncle.
Mr Jarsaja Kujabi was at one point a bigwig of the ruling APRC party in the Fonis and reportedly very close to president Jammeh.He is an elder brother to the former NIA director, Abdoulie Kujabi.
When Foroyaa got in touch with the NIA concerning the issue of Jarsaja, they said they do not know his whereabouts. On a previous occasion, the Police had also said that they don't have him in their custody.
