Lamin,

I hope the story is just that, a story and that these people are safe somewhere.  Jammeh is that crazy, Lamin - this has not been and is not beyond him and his goons.

  Could  someone verify this outrageous story. As far as I read from what Pa  Nderry posted, it is mare speculation. I do not buy this kind of  speculation. Jammeh is not that crazy. come on Pa, hold on and catch  your breath.

  Reports circulating in The Gambia hinted about the alleged execution of  the five coup suspects recently detained by the government. The five  alleged coup suspects were alleged to have been summarily executed by  the government of President Yahya Jammeh, amidst government claims that  the coupists escaped while being transported to a jail house situated  in the Central River Division called the Jangjangbureh prisons. 
  
  The men believed to be killed were identified as Daba marenah, former  NIA boss, Lieutenant Alieu Ceesay, Alpha Bah, Sergeant Malafi Corr and  Lieutenant Ebou Lowe. 
 Meanwhile, the government claimed that the  vehicle the alleged coupists were traveling with reportedly plunged  into a ditch, which resulted the automobile somersaulting.The five coup  suspects, we heard escaped in the process of this alleged accident.  However, many here believed that the five suspects were summarily  executed by the government. The government however, maintains that the  men's whereabouts were unknown. 
 Shortly after the quelling of the  alleged coup, President Jammeh appeared on National Television vowing  that whoever tries to unseat his government will be crushed to death.  He told the nation that this time around there will be no compromise  and was posed to set a drastic example on the alleged coupists. 
  Jammeh came to power through a coup in July of 1994. In November of  1994, certain army officers accused of attempting to overthrow his  military junta were captured and summarily executed by government loyal  soldiers. Former AFPRC Vice Chairman Sanna B Sabally was said to have  been very instrumental in the execution of these soldiers. 
  Meanwhile, speculations continue to rife across the country, regarding  the whereabouts of the five coup suspects. The whereabouts of the  alleged ring leader Ndure Cham still remains unknown. While the  government claimed that Cham was in neighboring Senegal, the government  in that French speaking country are yet to confirm such reports.
