Alagie Conteh’s trouble with authorities has taken a dramatic twist after government turned to the high court for an order freezing his embattled Bloom Bank account.
A temporary blockage of the account was lifted by police on Tuesday as the businessman threatened to go to court.
The Standard reported on Thursday the High Court in Banjul presided over by Justice BA Bakre issued an order for the freezing of the Dabanani Electrical Company accounts at Bloom Bank pending investigations. The investigations are over a financial transaction involving the account.
His UDP comrade Momodou Sabally wrote on Wednesday saying they will be alongside Mr Conteh in the battle.
He said: “The police have obtained a court order to freeze Alhagie Conteh’s account and his bank has no other option but to comply.
“Barrow and his mafia gang that are doing everything to empower and support dubious foreign businesses like the Senegalese dude who gifted him a car are now ready to destroy our Gambian brothers businesses. We will fight this battle together.”
