Ghanaians Walked Out Of Gambia By Gambian Authorities Ten (10) Ghanaians arrested by Para military of the Gambia were transported to a border village –Amdalai near Senegal and ordered not to return to The Gambia.

The 10 are residence of one house in Brufut near Ghanatown where the 8 bodies of Ghanaians alleged to have been killed by the Gambian police were discovered. They were held by the para military for a week and were made to work on farms and tortured.

Their neighbours indicated that during the police raid, only the Ghanaians were picked for allegedly spreading the information that the police were responsible for the death of the 8.
