Commander of police anti-crime Gorgi Mboob has had his suspension extended, according to The Point.
The Point reported on Thursday Mr Mboob, who is one of the nation’s top police officers has had his suspension extended for an additional 14 days as investigations into his alleged torture continue.
According to the paper, the Information Minister Ebrahim Sillah on Tuesday told West Coast Radio that the panel looking into the allegations is still investigating.
“Well he is still on administrative leave; it is extended for two weeks because the panel is still under investigation. The Inspector General and his team hope that probably the panel should be able to finish their investigation in this time frame,” the paper quoted Mr Sillah as saying while relying on West Coast Radio.
Gorgi Mboob was in July placed on administrative leave over claims he attacked 26-year-old Ebrima Sanneh on his genitals. He has denied the claims.
