Essa, On Kanuma and my links. PaModou Sarr the ex-police officr and
husband of Madam Janneh.bought the horse while he lived at Kamuma. No
one ever rides the horse and she almost bankrupt uncle. Modou Janneh
was sent to live there and to stay with Yayamundow. The horse of Pa
Modou Sarr was often in Banjul and we would gather hay for the horse.
Sometimes we would even get it from Modou Musa njie. Pa Modou Sarr is
the father of Ebou Sarr, Amie Sarr and the exwife of Yaks Jobe Adam. I
often take Modou Janneh to the ferry for crossing. I was well aware of
kanuma and it was daily in my ears and then I knew I had a family.there.
Take care.
Your bro.
