The Gambia Armed Forces hasn’t walked out a plan to have at least 90 people removed from the army.
The Fatu Network broke the news on April 11 that the army was asking dozens of soldiers who were culled from the police to leave.
But the spokesperson of the army Major Lamin Sanyang told The Fatu Network it was in fact the police who requested that the men be sent back to the police as they were needed there.
On Friday, reports emerged that the army leadership met with the affected soldiers and has decided to walk out of the plan.
But the army spokesperson has said the reports are false.
“That’s not true. The meeting we have with them was to brief them that this is the situation. But a decision is not yet reached as to redeploying them back. But we’re on the process,” the spokesperson of the army Major Lamin Sanyang told The Fatu Network Friday.
