President Adama Barrow, Hon. Seedy Njie and Musa Sheriff
Sources at State House have disclosed that President Barrow plans to instruct his attorneys to withdraw the civil lawsuit he filed against the proprietor of the Voice Newspaper. This decision follows a meeting with representatives from the Gambia Press Union (GPU) and the Newspapers Association.
In a related matter, the Gambia Police Force is reportedly being directed to drop the criminal charges against Musa Sheriff and Justice Darboe, both affiliated with the Voice Newspaper. This decision comes after the publication of a contentious article alleging that President Barrow had chosen Muhammed Jah of the QGroup as his successor to lead the National People’s Party (NPP).
Insiders suggest that Dr. Ismaila Ceesay, Seedy Njie and the Chief of Staff played pivotal roles in facilitating the discussions that resulted in the withdrawal of the civil suit and the termination of police charges.
