The leader of the United Democratic Party (UDP), Lawyer Ousainu Darboe has said that his party would asked the late Solo Sandeng’s lawyers if they can get his corpse for a proper burial.
“We will talk to Solo’s Lawyers to see if we get his dead body for proper burial. We want to give him burial like any other Muslim. They buried him like a dog. But for us, we want to give him a proper Muslim burial. Solo is a good Muslim and this is observed even during our UDP tours. He read the Quran all the time. He needs to be given a proper Muslim burial,” he told Kerr Fatou on Thursday evening.
