The National Assembly Member for Kombo South Kebba K Barrow has expressed frustration over the manner the case of Buba Drammeh is being handled by authorities.
Buba Drammeh allegedly shot to death Buba Jammeh amid violent confrontation between the people of Gunjur and Berending. Drammeh was detained at Mile 2 prison but he escaped from the high-security prison last year.
And expressing frustration at the handling of the issue at the National Assembly on Wednesday, KK Barrow said: “Honourable Speaker, I think action needs to be taken very quickly. This is a case that is 24 months now. The aggrieved persons and our discussions with the family, you have assured us that the report will be out as quickly as possible and it’s six months now, nothing is said about the report.
“So please get this report out as quickly as possible because it is important the people of Gunjur know what is happening in this case.”
The interior minister Yankuba Sonko who was at the House to answer questions from the lawmakers had earlier said: “The escape matter was investigated and the report has been sent to the attorney general’s office chambers for legal advice. In addition, a red notice has been issued by Interpol.
“The circumstances of the escape are all in. We have about three officers who are currently interdicted but unless as to what to do next from the AG’s Chambers, these officers will still remain under interdiction.”
