“Lamin k saidy, with due respect, it is important to approach this matter with sincerity, responsibility, and respect for the Gambian people. Matters as serious as the loss of security officers must not be reduced to selective narratives or public distractions.

If your position is grounded in truth and integrity, then it should be expressed with fairness and consistency. Otherwise, it is more prudent to refrain from making statements that may mislead or inflame public sentiment.

Accountability must be comprehensive and impartial. If there are individuals to be questioned, then attention must also be directed toward those in official capacities, including Mama Jabbie and the government spokesperson Ebrima Sankareh, whose roles place upon them a greater responsibility to provide clarity and transparency to the public.

The question of who is responsible for the killing of the police officers remains a matter of national concern, and it will continue to be asked until credible answers and justice are achieved. This is not an issue that should be politicized or personalized, but one that demands truth, accountability, and respect for the rule of law.

Gambians are observant and discerning. It is therefore essential that public discourse reflects honesty, restraint, and respect for the collective intelligence of the nation.”
