Buba Drammeh accused of shooting to death Buba Jammeh from point blank range has dramatically escaped from Mile 2 prison, The Fatu Network has confirmed.
Drammeh escaped the highly secure prison on December 27.
A top prison official said Drammeh’s escape might have been assisted as he left Mile 2 in civilian clothes. At least six prison officers who were on duty on the day of the alleged murderer’s escape are helping the police in an investigation that has since been mounted.
Police in February arrested Buba Drammeh after hunting him for months after he allegedly shot and killed Gunjur native Buba Jammeh. He was being kept at Mile 2 during which he got convicted over a separate crime.
Violent clashes erupted between the people of Gunjur and Berending over land in 2019 resulting in the death of Buba Jammeh. The father of eight was alleged gunned down by Drammeh.
