President Adama Barrow said he told the late police chief Mamour Jobe ‘we cannot lose you’ – as he shared his last conversation with the fallen cop.
The president travelled to Sinchu Alagie Monday afternoon to meet with the family of Jobe following his passing aged 61 last month.
And the president speaking at the event, said: “Before he died on Wednesday, I spoke with him on the telephone and he told me how he got sick. He told me, ‘you almost lost an IG’. I told him ‘Mamour, we cannot lose you’. He told me the illness and I told him we must not play with that illness. He said ‘another doctor has checked me’.
“I told him, ‘no, it’s my doctor who will take you and check you’. But if a man’s time is right [to die], you can’t be wise. When my doctor came, he suspected something and told him ‘I will take you to the hospital and admit you’. He said he didn’t want that. He refused. But that person (doctor) suspected something but he refused for that person to take him.
“I wasn’t here. I had however sent people to represent me and I sent people again but I said that’s not enough. That however I sent people, if I didn’t come myself, Mamour will not forgive me. There was nothing between me and Mamour. There was only peace.”
