Gambians on Thursday picked on top musician Jaliba Kuyateh over a song he sang for former justice minister Lamin Jobarteh.
Jobarteh appeared before the TRRC on Thursday where he testified about the execution of nine Mile Two death-row inmates. He also testified on allegations of torture against him.
Gambians in their thousands listened to his testimony and while many Gambians blasted him as bad son of the land, some had other ideas – to poke fun at Jaliba Kuyateh.
One commented: “Jaliba should apologise to the nation.”
Another said: “Jaliba Kuyateh my uncle should be arrested immediately for giving title to people which is not accurate [sic].”
Another said: Lawyer kuu taaii Jaliba La (Jaliba has no lawyer issues). I don’t think Jaliba got this one.”
Jaliba sang a popular song for Jobarteh years ago where he lavished praise on the man for being a great man of knowledge.
“Your education has been valuable to you,” Jaliba told Jobarteh in the song where he also mentioned the lawyer’s four wives and many children.
