Confirmed sources from the Gambian community in North Carolina, USA have
informed the Daily Observer of the sudden and mysterious death of one Kebba
Janneh of Bakau Newtown (South) who was allegely shot to death by unknown
assailants over the weekend.

hundreds of mourners were reported to have converged yesterday at the
compound of the deceased to express their grief over the tragic loss. One
sympathiser who spoke to our reporter expressed concern over the increase in
the number of deaths of Gambians abroad in tragic circumstances.

She said the Gambian community in the US should sensitise their members on
adopting precautionary measures to avoid such incidents in the future. " I'm
very disheartened and shocked on hearing the news about the untimely death
of Kebba. He was a very hardworking and disciplined boy," she said.

Several other people expressed similar sentiments.

When asked about the circumstances leading to Kebba's death, the Police
Intelligence Unit of Interpol (International Police) refused to comment.
