Army dismisses soldier Nuha Conteh and hands him over to DLEAG

The army has dismissed Nuha Conteh the soldier that opened fire in the air and fled as drug law enforcement officers closed in on him.

Conteh in May made drug squad officers to run for their lives as he opened fire at Kalagi Police Station. The officers had attempted to search his bag which contained cannabis.

Now one month after his arrest, Conteh has been dismissed from the army and handed over to the country’s drug agency.

Army spokesman Major Lamin K Sanyang confirmed the developments.
