We thank Pa Dacosta for striking exactly,at the top of the nail.
We,(the ex-students of Pa Dacosta)were not surprised for what he said.
The muslim leaders knew that,the children died on the course of "Jihad"
by voicing out the truth.The prophet Muhammad(PBUH)said,
"The most excellent Jihad is a true word in the presence of tyrannical
rulers"
so therefore,even Pa Dacosta has done a Jihad for the truth he
said,about
the incident.He was correct in his speech when he said,he will accept to

become the first martyr of the country,for saying the truth.
The prophet Muhammad(PBUH)said,
"Adhere to truth,for truth leads to good deeds and good deeds lead him
 who does them to paradise.If a man continues to speak the truth and
 makes truth his objective,he will be recorded in Allah`s presence as
eminently truthful.Avoid falsehood,for falsehood leads to wickedness
and wickedness leads to hell.If a man continues to speak falsehood
and makes falsehood his objecktive,he will be recorded in Allah`s
presence as a great liar."
The prophet(PBUH)said,
"If you guarantee me six things on your part,I shall guarantee you
paradise.
1.Speak the truth when you talk.
2.Keep a promise when you make it.
3.Fulfil your trust when you are trusted.
4.Avoid sexual immorality.
5.Lower your eyes.
6.Restrain your hands from injustice.
We should believe in God,to speak out the truth without fear or favour.
If we don`t fear God,why should we fear our fellow humanbeings?
We are asking the question,WHO ORDERED THE SHOOTING?
I believe,the question is very easy to answer now, after we read the
postmortem reports collaborating with the evidences of Mr.Ndow
and the students.Our answer is,the two high ranking officers who were
at the scene during the time of the shooting,should be under the police
custody, to give us our answer.The Justice department should be held
accountable,if these two suspects disappears.I believe,the best way to
educate the Gambian public on the nature and functions of the
proceedings,
is to invite the Tv.Cameras inside the court room.
We are all aware of the fact that,the burden of proof in a criminal case
is
"beyond a reasonable doubt".Whereas,the burden of proof in a civil case
is
"by a mere preponderance of the evidence".
We thank the team of Lawyers for their good faith,in helping their
brothers
and sisters in this awful situation.We also urge you,to do your
utmost,for
proper justice to be served.We will keep up following developments about

the 10th april massacre case.
