Former Gambian ambassador to Qatar Ambassador Ansumana Jammeh was laid to rest Sunday in Kanilai, Foni.
Mr Jammeh died on Saturday after a brief illness aged 45.
Tributes have poured in for Mr Jammeh, a half brother to former President Yahya Jammeh.
According to Momodou Sabally, Jammeh was a ‘cool and affable gentleman’.
“May Allah forgive him and grant him peaceful repose in Jannah,” he prayed.
Hydara Karara who knows him personally wrote: “A very good and humble man is gone, Allah S.W.T knows best.
“My condolences to the family. May Allah S.W.T grant you Jannahtul Firdausi Your Excellency Ambassador Ansu Jammeh.”
Fatu Camara said: “A great human being has left this world. Ansu was always very shy, calm, peaceful, and well composed.
“I still remember telling him to stop visiting me because I no longer work at The State House and that I do not want to get him in trouble. We were good friends until I joined the fight against his brother, after which we started to drift apart. I did not blame him at all.
“My only regret is not interacting with him like we used to when I saw him a few times at a friend’s house. Instead of showing resentment, he gave me his usual smile and that was it.
“The last time we spoke was when I was in exile in Dakar in October 2013. He called on Skype asking me to head back to Banjul assuring me that everything will be fine.”
