According to PRO Njie, the suspect was arrested by the Anti-Crime Unit of the Gambia Police Force on the 15 January 2024 at Dalaba Estate, “and was found in possession of an undocumented or unlicensed pistol”.

She said the alleged suspect is currently under police custody as investigation surrounding the incident continues.
