According to him, since the incident happened, Mustapha Gaye was on the run and investigations revealed that he escaped into Senegal through the porous borders of Jarra Soma.

“Since then, the Gambia Police Force (GPF) worked tirelessly with her counterparts in the sister Republic of Senegal to bring him to justice” PRO Conta said.

His repatriation he said, was made possible through the efforts and close collaboration between GPF, Senegalese Police and the embassies of the two sisterly countries.

According to PRO Conta, further investigation has also revealed that Mustapha’s real name is Alhagi Gaye and his address is Mayamba in the North Bank Region instead of Kaolack as it was earlier reported.
