| Principal of Damfaye Basic, Lamin Camara |
Two truckloads of police officers stormed the village of
Damfaye in the CRR and took Karamba Touray’s brother and the Chairman of the
school for questioning at Bansang Police Station in connection with the case
before the court relating to materials donated by Mr. Touray and other Gambians
living in the United States and others for a school project.
After they took the two, the police then proceeded to
interrogate the village Alkalo, teachers and other villagers ostensibly to
determine how the materials were distributed.
They
then went to the school and took pictures of the materials that were stored
there like computers, furniture, books, construction materials, solar systems,
generators etc. These items were all
part of the container that Mr. Touray and others shipped to Banjul for a
building they are helping the school with.
Lamin Camara, who is
currently on bail was present while the police went on a rampage as they try to
intimidate the villagers into submission as a sinister attempt to frame Lamin
Camara, the Principal of Damfaye Basic
School, who’s scheduled to be in the Bansang Magistrate Court tomorrow,
Wednesday the 13th January.
As we promised our readers, we will continue to monitor the
situation and to report as events unfold in this case that also involved Police
Sergeant 844 Bayo who stopped Mr. Camara as a police check point and demanded a
D 3,000 bribe.
