Anti-Crime’s new commander who served as Gorgi Mboob deputy has paid tribute to the axed officer for what he called his ‘robustness’ in the fight against crime.
Gorgi Mboob was the commander of anti-crime since the outfit was formed in 2018. His time as head of the outfit ended prematurely in October when he was found guilty by the National Human Rights Commission of torturing a 26-year-old detainee.
But on Wednesday, the new head of the outfit Superintendent Momodou Sowe who assisted Mboob praised the officer for his ‘hard work’.
“Police anti-crime unit was initiated by the Office of the Inspector General of Police and his senior management in April 2018 to control the alarming rate of crime within The Gambia
“Since the initiation of this unit, efforts towards controlling crimes paid dividends over the years thanks to the unflinching support from the Office of the IGP and the entire police command.
“Not forgetting the hard work of my predecessor deputy police commissioner of police Gorgi Lamin Mboob for his robustness in the fight against crime,” Sowe said at the decoration of 16 promoted junior officers at the anti-crime office in Bijilo.
