Ecomig has said its commander Colonel Cheikh Omar Tamba is a ‘very’ strong man who does not cover any indiscipline or misbehavior from his troops.
Ecomig has again made headlines after a father accused a soldier with the force of attempting to rape his 16-year-old daughter. The incident allegedly happened in Jimara, URR.
Ecomig spokesman Commander Andy La-Anyane told The Fatu Network: “We also received the same information from another journalist. Checks from our personnel indicates that nothing of the sort happened. We are however pleased that the matter has been reported to the police who will conduct investigations into the incident.
“We have all the trust in the Gambia police force to do a professional and thorough work. ECOMIG has a very strong Force Commander who does not cover any indiscipline or misbehavior from his troops.
“An example is the recent incident that occurred when two of our personnel broke the curfew laws. The Force Commander immediately repatriated them. We will therefore wait for the outcome of the police investigations.”
