Highly placed sources have confirmed the arrest of sacked army
chief of staff LT.Colonel Vincent Jatta by the National
Intelligence Agency the (NIA) . Former Army chief of staff
Jatta , is reportedly being questioned by the NIA and
Military intellegence officers over issues relating to state
security, authoritative sources intimated.
Mr.Jatta who recently replaces sacked Army chief of staff Colonel
Baboucarr Jatta, was arrested by State security agents
amids reports that he wanted to quit the army following
the brutal murder of Deyda Hydara. Jatta was said to have
lamented about the lapse of security in tiny West
African country.
According to sources form Banjul, his family are
apparently worried about Jatta's safety. Vincent Jatta,
a career infantry soldier was said to have been
abducted by his captives, who are reportedly forcing
statements on him. "There are attempts to frame Vincent
and other soldiers close to him. He is not deported.
Deported for what? He is a Gambian. I can confirm
to you that Vincent is being held by the NIA and
soon gambians will know why he is detained." said a
source.
Authorities in Banjul, declined to make any public statement
on Jatta's arrest. His arrest came in the wake of
growing insecurity in The Gambia. Armed men have been on
rampage, killing and terrorising those perceived to be critical
of the Jammeh dictatorship. The government has always
denied responsibility for these atrocities. But observers
and citizens alike believed that the government must be a
party to what they described as these "cowardly attacks."
Since the toppling of the democratically elected government of
Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara, by former army lieutenant Yahya
Jammeh in July of 1994, the current government had been
at logger head with the press and the opposition.
Jammeh had on many occasions declared his intention to
bury his perceived critics "six feet deep". Servants of his
government violate citizens rights with impunity. He
also interfered with the running of the judiciary.
