Police have released Ebou N keita following his arrest on Monday, the Gambia Press Union has said.
The Gambian Talents cameraman was arrested by police at Tabokoto Monday morning ‘whilst shooting images of altercations between police officials and drivers’.
“He was taken to Abuko police station and later transferred to Bundung police where upon hearing the news the GPU Secretary General Saikou Jammeh with some GTTV staff met him,” Gambia Press Union said in a statement.
It added: “He was released with no charges filed.”
Gambian Talents earlier on Monday issued a statement saying Keita was arrested around 8am by the PIU Officers for ‘taking a video of them while they arrests drivers at the Coastal Road Junction in Tabokoto’.
Police spokesman Lamin Njie could not immediately comment on the matter.
