Those securrity officers responsible for the killing of students needs to
receive their punishments,they need to shoulder responsiblities.

Rmember,all of us who call our selves muslims and christians,there is life
after death and we will all pay for our deeds.

Am sure this indemnity act will never be accepted by the representatives.

Please come out and tell us the truth, Gambians can easily forgive but you
can't use tactics on us.

You know we are a family(Gambians)If you ask for reconcilation,we need to
know the truth,what leeds to the killing then we can can all work hard to
avoid such tragedies in our country.
