Jabou,
I won't be surprised because i had a discussion with my brother during my trip last week. He was telling me that Jammeh was saying that every one has to pay duties, there is nothing like friendship in that.. My brother clearly believes that he was referring to Baba Jobe. Baba Jobe is the talk of the Gambia, people will tell you how he evate taxes, open money shop and they believe he is the one running the country. For the simple fact that he does what ever he likes without questioning.
So, for him to be arrested by the same regime won't be a suprise because the guy is too powerful for Jammeh's liking. These people has ruined the country, they made the Gambia their private property.
The Struggle Continue!!!!!
