Two soldiers have been arrested on suspicion of stealing dozens of bags of rice bound for Sabach Sanjal.
The soldiers who were reportedly arrested over the weekend after their alleged theft misfired, were part of troops that have been activated to help in the distribution of the government’s COVID-19 foodstuff.
Army spokesman Major Lamin K Sanyang confirmed the two soldiers’ arrested saying they have been detained at Fajara Barracks.
“They have been arrested and they are helping the military police with the investigations.
“This is not who we are as an institution. Parents need to help because all of these people [soldiers] are from homes,” Major Sanyang added.
It comes four weeks after some soldiers were arresting over a break-in at the army headquarters in Banjul.
