Gambia News : Two Gambian journalists invited by IGP over story
Two Gambian journalists reporting for the independent Daily News were on Tuesday invited by Mr Enassa Badjie, Inspector General of Police (IGP), to express his disappointment at an article the newspaper published on 15 February.
Lamin Njie and Saikou Ceesay reported at the office of the IGP at 1200 GMT in the company of Mr Madi Ceesay, Publisher and editor of Daily News, and Mr Ahmed Alota, Executive Director of the Gambia Press Union.
According to the article 'New Police line in deplorable state' the structures of the buildings at the place are dilapidated, with poor sanitary conditions.
