Army Chief Kinteh Must Suspend Officers Who Confess to Torture – Jobarteh

Madi Jobarteh has said that the chief of defense staff of the Gambia Armed Forces must suspend security personnel who confess to torture.

A Gambian army captain Bubacarr Bah on Tuesday told the TRRC it was him who battered former agriculture minister Omar Jallow. The incident happened in 1995.

Jobarteh, a straight-talking political commentator, said in a Facebook post on Wednesday: “The CDS must suspend security personnel who confess to torture until the TRRC decides their fate! Such officers must not continue to wear the uniform of The Gambia Armed Forces. They have lost legitimacy the moment they transformed people’s power entrusted to them to abuse citizens.”
