Foroyaa has been trying to get clear explanation why a young man was shot with live bullets in Fass Njaga Choi. We are reliably informed that the person was admitted at the Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital and was under police custody prior to charges and trial.
Our reporters are still unable to speak to the relatives of the man. It is claimed by many that he could be a non Gambian citizen. If that is the case the situation will become more complicated and the authorities should strictly look into the case and draw the necessary lessons before there is an international outcry of the use of excessive force in policing. An investigation should be conducted and find out whether the amount of force used is reasonable and justifiable in a democratic society.
Foroyaa will continue to seek more information from the PRO so as to know how the matter was concluded.
