*Gov't. Suspected** *



*By Ebrima G. Sankareh *



Unimpeachable sources from The Gambian judiciary say that Gambian layer and

former student unionist, Mai Fatty is at a Dakar hospital following a very

mysterious accident that has left him with broken bones all over. Our

informer who would not specify where and when "*suspected foul play occurred

*" said the Gambia Bar Association flew Fatty to Dakar because Banjul could

not just handle his traumatic situation. Until we speak to our colleagues at

the local hospital who have promised to provide us with details of Mai's

near fatal mysterious accident, we will leave it at that lest we

misrepresent the facts. For now though, what we can say with absolute

certainty is that Mai Fatty is fighting for his life in a local Senegalese

hospital following what judicial sources call "suspected foul play by

president Jammeh's government."



Fatty was the personal lawyer to Baba Jobe and among the

co-counsels to veteran Gambian human rights lawyer and dean of the bar Hon.

Justice Ousman Sillah who was also, flown to Dakar after a bloody encounter

with Yahya Jammeh's assassins on December, 26th. 2004. To day, Sillah lives

in the United States with a tale of a missing kidney after a hail of bullets

were fired at him. It can be recalled that Baba Jobe, once the closest

lieutenant to President Yahya Jammeh had apparently ran afoul of the

dictator and was disgracefully stripped off his immunities as Majority

Leader of Gambia's Parliament.He was then dragged before a kangaroo tribunal

in 2004.The once powerful politician has since been convicted on a barrage

of felony charges and is serving a nine-year jail term.
