Former army chief Lang Tombong Tamba has returned to the TRRC to continue to give testimony to the probe – hours after army lieutenant colonel Bunja Darboe tore into him for ‘making’ a fool of the TRRC.
Tamba on Monday told the TRRC coupist Bunja Darboe was the first person arrested over the 2006 Ndure Cham coup. He also told the probe Darboe was the person who gave out the names of the other coupists – and that the 2006 coupists are tainted witnesses.
But Bunja Darboe in a strong riposte said of LTT: “The arrogance of Lang Tombong TAMBA before the TRRC must be checked. İn his testimony of 14 December 2020, he was dodging the questions which led to his push and pull with the lead counsel Essa Faal.
“He did not speak the truth when he said that i was the first person to be arrested. Pierre Mendy was the first person to be arrested. İ found Pierre Mendy in Mile 2.
“He did not equally speak the truth when he said that i was the one who mentioned the names of other suspects (accused). İt was Saikou Seckan who first gave them the true account of the coup plot to the NiA because he was part and parcel of it.”
