Point Director
Pap Saine Disappoints His Journalists
By Solo, Banjul correspondent...........June18th, 2008A young sports
reporter at the Point Newspaper by the name of Mr. Ebou Manneh has received the
shock of his life recently when he wrote a story indicating that the new
coach for the Scorpions Paul
Put was not happy with the ministry’s plans to hire a Gele-Gele to transport
the Scorpions to Dakar
ahead of their match with Algeria.
According to sources at the Point Newspaper, Mr. Pap Saine, the Point
Director who was not keen
in publishing the story not only dropped the story but called Mass Axi Gai,
the Secretary of State for
Sports and told him what the boy wrote; but that he Pap Saine has dropped
the story.
Sources close to the Point further indicate that the Secretary of State for
Sports, Mass Axi Gai later
called the reporter Mr Ebou Manneh and accused him of being used by somebody
to undermine him
Axi. Impeccable sources added that he told the young reporter that he is of
age now because he is
over 56 years but did not stop there. He was said to have threatened the
reporter as thus,” If anybody
is trying to kill me, I will kill you,” he told Ebou Manneh.
Sources further revealed that the big man later went to the young man’s
father to ask for mediation
between him and the boy; that he wants bygones to be bygones.
Mr. Manneh who was visibly shaken by the threat was said to have notified
the FA about the matter.
Information circulating among the media practitioners speaks unkindly of Mr.
Pap Saine as Director
who should be the protector of all the journalists especially the young ones
but has instead endeavored
to put the young man’s life and profession under threat by his exposure of
an internal report which was
dropped. They said he should have known better than to stoop so low.
