Alieu Gibba, Omar Gibba and Sadibou Bojang of Jalokoto in the Foni Berefet district allegedly fought with the police after the latter confronted them for not wearing face masks.

A witness told The Fatu Network: “The police were passing and saw the boys seating. They came and said we were not wearing mask so we told them that we are sitting in our homes.

“So they went and came back again and said they are going to arrest us because we were not wearing face mask, that we refused to the order.

“Then a fight ensued in which the police had to run off and leave their car behind. A reinforcement of PIU then came which lead to the arrest of three youths who were involved in fighting the police. They spent the night at the Sibanor Police but bailed out today.”
