Madi Jobarteh has said it’s tragic for Gorgi Mboob to be found guilty of torturing an ‘innocent’ citizen only to punish him with a transfer.
Authorities this week implemented a recommendation by National Human Rights Commission for Mr Mboob to be redeployed from anti-crime.
Madi Jobarteh said: “In Nigeria they have an anti crime unit called Special Anti Robbery Squad, SARS. They have been battling with armed robbers all the time but despite the high rate of robbery in Nigeria the citizens still maintain that police brutality will not be tolerated.
“So for days they protested in various cities around the country until Pres. Buhari had to ban the notorious unit today.
“Meantime in the Gambia, we also have our Anti Crime Unit which is also notorious for police brutality yet we rewarded them! Their commander Gorgui Mboob has been found to hit an innocent citizen inflicting bodily injuries on him only to punish him with a transfer with his full ranks and incentives!
“This is indeed tragic!”
