Sheikh Musa Saidy has confirmed that police called him in for questioning on Monday – and dismissed claims he was arrested and jailed.
“The claim I was arrested and jailed [are not true]. Someone who is jailed will not be speaking,” Imam Saidy while speaking on Tuesday said.
Mr Saidy had been at dagger’s drawn with Imam Bakawsu Fofana with the latter threatening to kill him for insulting the country’s marabouts.
On claims he has been arrested, Imam Saidy said he was instead respectfully invited by police.
He said on Tuesday: “There is nothing wrong with me. They only called me respectfully to come and answer and I went and then went home.
“They said I should come back in the morning which I did and they asked me to go to Banjul and we just came back.”
