Ba Kawsu Fofana on Thursday appeared before the TRRC where he lifted the lid on problems he faced while Jammeh was president.
The top imam appeared at the probe with style, donning a huge gown – then going on to serve his testimony out with remarkable sangfroid.
He began his testimony by warning his appearance would mark the biggest since the probe started inviting witnesses in January 2019.
The 51-year-old daring remark has now been justified as a photo of the Saudi-trained imam where he is seen drinking from a kettle has gone viral with almost every Gambian online acting a Ba Kawsu.
During his testimony, Ba Kawsu boasted he is a ‘great’ marabout as he explained – even if vaguely – how he escaped arrest in 2012.
The Ba Kawsu imitation started as soon as the top imam ended his testimony and continued into Friday.
