UDP leader Ousainou Darboe has issued an audio message calling on the police to investigate and arrest a man who is calling for civil war in The Gambia.
The man in an audio asked citizens to rise against President Adama Barrow’s government in comments that have shocked many. The man is said to be a UDP supporter.
But Darboe said Wednesday: “I heard an audio on Santangba UDP group from an enemy of The Gambia, someone who hates Gambia and is bent on destroying this country. I want everyone to ignore this man’s statement whether you are a Gambian, a UDP supporter or not. This man wants to cause harm in this country, a country where only peace is known.
“Saying people should make bombs and go out is the most irresponsible statement ever. Only a bad citizen would say such. But the police can investigate this, they can trace the person’s number and arrest him.
“The person he is talking to too, Sarjo Jarju, can also be traced with advanced technology. Anyone calling for what happened in Rwanda should be investigated. But I also want to believe this is not a UDP supporter. Some people are using UDP as cover to say they would set this country on fire.”
The Fatu Network understands the man is from Gunjur and based in the United Kingdom.
