Bakawsu Fofana denies arrest report, says he was only at police station to thank officers for arresting Musa Saidy

Imam Bakawsu Fofana has denied reports he was arrested by police.

Imam Fofana earlier this month threatened to kill fellow Imam Musa Saidy for insulting the nation’s marabouts. The cleric was in Casamance when he made the threat.

The Imam has since returned to The Gambia and there were reports Monday that he has been arrested and detained at Banjulinding Police Station.

The Imam has however dismissed the reports in a short video he posted on his official Facebook page Monday afternoon.

In the one-minute-fifty-six-second, the imam is seen driving to Sukuta with his disciples.
