The imam whose name could not be immediately known was arrested at Jimpex where police also dispersed worshippers.
Police spokesman Lamin Njie (not the author of this story) told The Fatu Network the imam was arrested for failing to adhere to the emergency powers regulations on closure of public places of worship.
“The people were also dispersed,” the police spokesman added.
The Jimpex mosque imam’s arrest brought the number of imams arrested for balking at the closure of mosques in the country to four.
