During a press conference held at the Headquarters of the Gambia Armed Forces on Thursday, December 29, 2022, the Gambia Government revealed that the alleged coup plotters identified Gambia Naval Base in Banjul as their launching platform with accomplices from other Barracks.
“The Gambia Naval Base in Banjul was identified to be the launching platform with accomplices from the State Guard, Fajara barracks, Yundum barracks, and other battalions across the country,” National Security Adviser Abubakarr Suleiman Jeng said on Thursday at a press briefing.
He added, “In addition to the State House, the plan shows other key locations to be taken over and occupied which include the Denton Bridge, the Bund Road-Banjul Highway Intersection, Arch22, and installations such as NAWEC Power Station at Kotu, Radio Stations, the Abuko Earth Station, Abuko Faith Station, the Airport and to seal off the EOCOMIG troops,”
The National Security Adviser Abubakarr Suleiman Jeng made these revelations at a press briefing today where he declined to take questions from journalists.
