Police have confirmed arresting Momodou Dahaba on allegations of obtaining money by false pretence.
Police spokesman Lamin Njie told The Fatu Network: “We can confirmed that he was arrested in connection to a land matter in which he obtained money amounting to D600, 000 from a certain complainant.
“The matter was investigated and he is charged with obtaining money by false pretenses.. He is currently set on bail awaiting trial.”
Police’s confirmation comes a day after The Fatu Network broke the news the NPP supporter had been arrested for taking up to D600,000 from a woman, relying on well-placed sources.
He allegedly took the amount from a woman in exchange for a plot of land in Bijilo, which he never owned.
Dahaba is a popular member of President Barrow’s National People’s Party.
