Neneh Gomez, Gilbert Manga and Lamin Sey were arrested and taken to Kairaba Police Station were they have now been charged with assault and malicious injury to property. They are yet to be released on bail.

Madi Jobarteh who visited the Kairaba Police Station wrote earlier: “This act is a blatant abuse of power and a direct infringement on the fundamental rights of citizens to their property and a violation of the freedom of expression and the media.

“The Gambia Government should stop harassing citizens. The State must protect the right to property. Above all, The Gambia Government must respect court orders and the rule of law.”
