“When I was in Liberia, I had 1,000 to 1,500 people under my command. I had 18 bodyguards but they were all women because I could not trust men,” Kanteh who said he had the rank of captain at the time and was often called by his nickname Nelson Mandela said. He said he was the only Gambian among the lot.

His testimony continues.
