Ebrima,

We are all working for a better Gambia so that we will all live in peace.

But you should not encorage such lies as this mail from your source
in Banjul.You know what a grenade can do to a mini bus, it would not
only blow off the tires but the whole vehicle.

This was an accident and we should not be fabricating stories just
because we hate Yaya Jammeh.

I trusted in the information we are getting from your source, but
this story of a grenade is making me get a second mind.

May the Almighty God be with us on our fight for justice in The Gambia

Thanks
