Police have mounted an investigation into a complaint Dr Amadou Scattred Janneh allegedly sold land to Yusupha Saidy for 2.2 million dalasis and failed to transfer the land to the businessman.
Saidy lodged a complaint with police he paid 2.2 million dalasis to Dr Janneh over a piece of land, police spokesman Superintendent Lamin Njie told The Fatu Network.
“We can confirm receiving a complaint against Amadou Scatred Janneh. According to report the complainant paid D2.2M to Mr Janneh over a piece of land. He later realized that the said land is being developed by another person. The Police have opened an investigation into the matter,” Njie said.
Dr Janneh confirmed selling land to Saidy telling The Fatu Network: “I sold a piece of property that was allocated to my company to Mr. Yusupha Saidy. I wanted to develop an alternate site in Gunjur.
“It turns out I can’t transfer the Brusubi plot to Mr. Saidy until it is leased and that process takes a considerable amount of time.
“I therefore offered to refund his money in full or to give him another property. I was informed by our intermediary (Modou Sanneh) that he preferred another piece of property. And that was to be done upon my return from the US.”
Saidy told The Fatu Network Dr Janneh blocked his numbers but Dr Janneh denied ever blocking his numbers.
