Citizens’ Alliance (CA) has issued a statement expressing dismay over videos circulating on social media showing members of the United Democratic Party (UDP) being verbally and physically attacked by fellow citizens leaving their party motor vehicles damaged.
“CA condemns the act and calls on the government to swiftly probe into case and establish the facts for further actionable courses in order to sustain peace before, during and after elections,” CA said of the attack on UDP officials in Kanilai on Saturday morning.
CA added in their statement: “CA hereby calls on the general public to continue to uphold the laws of the land and jealously guard the peaceful co-existence that the country is known for by respecting and protecting the civic, political and other rights of every person.
“We enjoin the government to open a robust and swift investigation and ensure that justice prevails. By this medium, we wish to encourage all Gambians to avoid taking the law into their own hands.”
