Police commissioner Muhammed Kanteh has been arrested after he left his post to check on his brothers who were allegedly stabbed during Sunday’s protest.
Mr Kanteh left Brikama for Kanifing to see his two brother who he claimed had been stabbed while exercising their ‘right’.
The senior officer told reporters at Kanifing hospital he was at work when he received the news.
“I have about 100 men under me as I speak, I left them because my brother is stabbed,” Mr Kanteh said.
He then told reporters his brothers were out lawfully to ‘exercise their constitutional right’.
“I am not feared [sic]. The president himself knows that Kanteh is not feared [sic]”, he said when asked whether he was not afraid of landing himself in trouble.
The Fatu Network has gathered the top officer has been arrested and placed in custody.
Police spokesman Lamin Njie (not related to the author of this story) did not pick a call for comment.
