CASUALTY IN THE STATE
GUARDDear Readers,The under-posted text was sent to me
last night for publication in the G-L. I don’t
necessarily know the sender, but he appealed to have
his identity hidden. He works in the medical field in
the Gambia. There were few other List members he also
posted the information for distribution. Here it is
unedited.Yaya must go by all means!Ebou Colly







Dear all,
I would like to post this hot news on the Gambia -L
but due to
constrains I will not risk it.

The assertion by Ebou Colley that the heavy weapons
Yaya packed at
Kanilai and State House for his personal use albeit
the fact that
anytime they want to use them, they will face dire
consequences have
been proven right. Ebou is a real prophet of doom and
his words should
be seriously considered and trusted.

In the early hours of this morning, state guards plus
Guinea Bissau
commando's guarding Yaya at Kanilai were having a
training/testing
session at Polodi range near Farafenni, they
accidentally blue
themselves up. Two died on the spot and my
understanding is another
died
en route to Banjul. The two dead are a 22-year-old
chap from Lamin
forgot the name and a Guinea Bissau commando called
Loui Inlolu
(spelling may be wrong). several other people were
seriously injured
including the guard commander Modou Njie with multiple
injuries,
Vincent
Gomez and many others whose names I could not catch
up. Five ambulances
left for Banjul carrying just the injured. Several
others are admitted
at the Farafenni General hospital including one Lt
Colonel Malang
Jassey
from Guinea Bissau and another Bissau man called
Albino. Yaya phoned
the
hospital warning the staff that they should not talk
to any journalists
under no circumstance.

Shrapnel from the explosion traveled over a kilometer
to a near by
village Samba Soto injuring a couple of civilians, one
of them on the
neck.

I guess that is all I have to tell you. You can find
out more if you
have a reliable source of contact. PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE
ME UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCE. This is just for information and if
anything, just advice
Yaya to do things right and that way he may not even
need all these
weapons for his personal security.

Thanks.
