INNAA LILAAHI WA INNAA ELAIHEE RAAJI-OUN

Early this morning, Banjul, Senegambia, Africa and the Muslim world lost yet
another one of their great men who dedicated his entire life to Islam. "He
is one of the four pillars the city of Banjul is resting on" was once quoted
by Imam Ahhagie Abdoulie Jobe and  what happens if yet another pillar falls
down. February 1910 was when he was born and departed to the call of the
Almighty on June, 8th 1999, yes we have lost Alhagie Babou Samba.

The name may sound familiar to some and ring a loud bell to others, but he
is the Alhagie Babou of 54 Hagan St, Banjul and Daa-iratul Haasiheen. I have
lost a friend, uncle, grandfather but most importantly my "WASEELA" together
with all the boys of Haasiheen.

I started working on his authobiography a couple of years ago and hoped that
it would be ready during his lifetime but I have just found today that, that
will not happen. We will still continue the good will and thanks so far to
those who have contributed to it.

I condole the entire family both in The Gambia and abroad and the
descendants of Sheikh Ahmad Tejan in Fezz, Morocco.

May his soul rest in perfect peace.
