Gambian reportedly killed along with rebels at rebel base in Casamance

A native of Pirang Abdoulie Njie was killed at a rebel base in Casamance, people familiar with the unfortunate matter have said.

Njie who goes by his street name ‘Powerful’ died a few days ago after the reported raid by Senegalese soldiers of a rebel base in Casamance.

Lamin Dibba the councilor of Pirang ward told The Fatu Network he is neighbours with the ill-fated man.

“It’s something true. I just left his house where a vehicle containing people from Casamance has just arrived to commiserate with his family. These are the people who host him [there in Casamance],” Dibba said.

Njie was reportedly half-buried along with the rebels he died with, a friend said.
