Operation Three Years Jotna has formally written to the Inspector General of Police requesting a permit to stage a protest next month to demand President Adama Barrow steps down.
In a letter signed by the movement’s chairman and seen by The Fatu Network, the group said it will stage a public procession from Westfield to State House on 16 December.
Three Years Jotna is a pressure group that was formed last year following President Barrow’s about-face regarding his rule. He had in 2016 promised to be in office for just three years but he has changed his mind saying he will now be in office for five years. The group has vowed to ensure he fulfills his three years promise.
The group in a letter written to the Inspector General of Police on 19 November said it will hold a public procession on 16 December.
“We wish to start the procession from Westfield Junction, Serrekunda to the State House gate, Office of the President, and Banjul between the hours of 10am to 5pm. Upon arrival in Banjul, we would deliver a petition to His Excellency the President of the Republic,” the group said in the letter to the IGP.
The police spokesman Lamin Njie (not the author of this story) did not pick a call for comment.
