Mr Sey,
That sounds interesting. However, it will also be interesting to know how the name came to be pronounced as S-a-b-i-j-i instead of "Saa bije" (meaning a "a snake is there")!!
Bijilo for instance is the shorter name for "Biji lo jaŋ" (Biji stop/stand here), a statement from the first settler in Bijilo, Biji Bah, a cattle herdsman.

I don´t know of Lamin but Sukuta and Sabiji is same,
simply because in the early days before the town was
called someting else, the town was a no go area after
night fall people who venture to go there after night
fall were attack by a big snake hence the name Sabiji.
To cut the store short don´t go it´s late at night
the snake is around.
