Gambia News : Gambia's ex-Chief of Defence Staff, others arrested
Gambia's former Chief of Defence Staff, Lt.-Gen. Lang Tombong Tamba,
and four others have been detained after they were invited for
questioning at the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) head office in
the capital, Banjul, Tuesday, sources told PANA here Wednesday.
Also being detained at the Central Prisons at Mile 2 are the former
Director General, National Intelligence Agency, Modou Lamin Badjie;
Lt.-Col. Kawsu Camara, as well as businessmen Lie Joof and Kebba Touray.
The sources said the Inspector General of Police, Enssa Badjie, was also questioned by the NIA, but was allowed to go.
According
to sources, the men are being detained in connection with publication
of a letter allegedly written by Kukoie Samba Sanyany, a Gambian
dissident who led the 1981 coup d'état against President Dawda Jawara,
to President Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal, seeking support against
President Yahya Jammeh.
Meanwhile, a government statement
monitored on Gambia Radio and Television Services said President Yahya
Jammeh has demoted Lt.-Col Camara to the rank of private and dismissed
him from the Gambia Armed Forces.
The statement said President Jammeh had also dismissed Modou Gaye from his post as the Deputy Inspector General of Police.
