Former AFPRC vice chairman Sanna Bairo Sabally has dismissed claims that he (Sabally) and former president Yahya Jammeh drew a gun on each other which saw them become chairman and vice chairman of the junta.
“Sana Sabally pulled out his pistol to Yaya Jammeh and told Yaya Jammeh you are the chairman and Yaya tell him that you are the vice chairman,” former army private Sait Darboe in February told the TRRC as he detailed how the Junta members got their positions.
Testifying before the TRRC on Wednesday, Sabally said the claims are false.
“No, that’s totally false. In the army what we know is chain of command. Who seniors you seniors you and that’s how Yahya became the chairman,” Sabally told the TRRC.
On Thursday, Whats On Gambia uploaded a three-minute video of Sait Darboe’s testimony where he could be heard talking about the gun pointing claims.
Gambians quickly jumped on Darboe and accused him of lying to the TRRC.
Ndey Sarr Guéléwar commented on What’s on Gambia’s wall: “For some reasons, I have this feeling that Sait Dabo wasn’t all okay that day.”
Baldeh Yaxy said: “Never mind this man he need some weed to tell the truth (sic).”
AbuBakr SidiQk Dibba said: “From now on I desist from using marijuana cuz no matter how long it will use or pay back to me either (sic).”
