The Gambia Police Force has launched an investigation into an alleged murder that occurred on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, in Bansang Sukuta Kunda Allatentu, according to a press release dated January 30, 2025.
The statement revealed that officers in Bansang responded to a distress call and discovered the lifeless body of Musa Bah, a Senegalese national residing in the area.
Bah, an adult marabout, was found at the scene along with his shoes, glasses, and the suspected murder weapon, while his motorcycle was missing.
“Preliminary findings suggest that Bah was visited by two individuals who claimed to be his relatives. According to his wife, these individuals had come to visit him before he left with them. When he failed to return, concerns arose, ultimately leading to the tragic discovery of his body,” they wrote.
As the investigation progresses, authorities noted that these two individuals are now nowhere to be found. Efforts are ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding Bah’s death.
The police have urged the public to provide any relevant information that could assist in the investigation.
