Dozens of drivers on Wednesday converged at the Banjul City Council to complain of a crackdown by police.
Police in Banjul have reportedly barred commercial drivers from parking their vehicles in the terminal area.
Angered by the move, more than forty drivers today gathered at the complex of Banjul City Council.
“We always have this difficulties from the Police and we don’t know why they’re doing this to us,” Muhammed Drammeh who spoke to The Fatu Network on behalf of the drivers said.
“They always come and tell us to not park. We are tired of this and that’s why we gathered here to lodge our complaint to Banjul City Council to intervene.
“They (Police) never give us a reason to why they’re removing us here, rather they only remove us away like sheep with very harsh words.”
Modou Lamin Bah, the spokesman for Banjul City Council who also spoke to The Fatu Network called for calm and dialogue.
“Banjul City Council believes in dialogue because if one thing, a problem that is not solve is still a problem, and a problem that is solve is no more a problem,” he said.
The Fatu Network contacted the police spokesman ASP Lamin Njie who said he is not aware of the issue but promised to find out.
