The Brikama Area Council (BAC) has refuted the claim made on West Coast Radio by the Gambia government spokesman, Ebrima G. Sankareh that the alleged shooter of the two police officers is an employee of their council.
“The attention of the management and staff of the Brikama Area Council has been drawn to the trending news in the social media platforms and individuals that the alleged shooter of the Police Intervention Unit (PIU) officers is an employee of the Brikama Area Council.
“In view of this, the management vehemently refutes this ill-fated information and considers it as malicious, politically motivated and a smear campaign to stain the reputation of our institution in the pretext of our Hon. Chairman’s court case.
“Mr. Ousainou Bojang the alleged killer of (PIU) officers, was never and is not an employee of the Brikama Area Council, as opposed to disinformation being carried out by unscrupulous individuals and social media platforms,” they said.
The government spokesperson, Ebrima Sankareh made an appearance on West Coast Radio on Thursday and said that the alleged killer of the two officers is a staff member of the Brikama Area Council.
