Sorry guys for the first mail. I meant to forward Ebou Jallows latest bombshell from Gambianet. Here it is as follows. Mr. Camara please take note. Thanks. ====================================================================== Author Ebou Jallow (Jambarr) Topic: Korro Ceesay's Death- What really happened It has come to my attention that a lot of people are very interested in knowing the whole story on Korro's death. I am constantly being rebuked for not coming out earlier to expose the whole story whilst I was in Government; but I believed then timing was very important and besides it would have been suicidal and the whole truth would have been buried with me forever... Now here is the story- I first had the oppurtunity to know Korro on a diplomatic mission to the UN. He was then an undersecretary at the Ministry of Finance, since then we became very close friends. I had alot of admiration for him, he was exceptionally smart, full of ideas and very enthused about our revolutionary cause. Being a young man like myself we bonded easily. Immediately after that mission, Yaya wanted to reshuffle his Cabinet, and Korro became a very favorable candidate. Korro was a star in the Council, personally he felt like a brother to me and we consulted on issues and I use to admirably call him SERRING DARRA. But obviuosly not everyone in the Council was happy with him. Edward Singharty felt very threatened by the amount of respect and admiration that Korro enjoyed from all of us including Yaya. Eventually his envy and insecurity turned to paranoia, that Korro might eventually be a prime candidate for No. 2 after the Elections. Besides Singharty never like the idea of us resigning from the military but Yaya was his main obstacle and he couldn't get my support to derail the process by overthrowing Yaya. Unfortunately enough, Koro became too overzealous and made some few misstakes by sometimes bypassing the whole Council in making decisions on his own and later informing Yaya. Of course this angered all of us and gave Singharty enough ammunition to alienate Koro from Yaya and the rest of us. Korro further aggravated his relations with Singharty with some petty confrontations which Singharty, being the type he is, saw as a personal vendetta and vowed to avenge. As time went on Korro's circumstances deteriorated to a point that Yaya asked the SG then Abou Wadda to draft a letter firing Korro. This occurred on a Tuesday morning in my presence. I left for Libya on Wednesday morning. On Friday that same week, Yaya left for Cairo and on that same fateful evening Koro was murdered. I first learned about it from Gaddafi himself who was utterly disturbed and he told me point blank that I should tell Yaya to quit this nonsense. I was very confused myself and felt really stupid. I returned to my hotel room after meeting Gaddafi, and called my wife immediately. She told me that she couldn't sleep the night before (meaning Friday) because all the Guards at Yankuba's House were abruptly told to come to my Residence at Fajara cause there is some suspicious activity at the coastline. She later told me that Aja, Singharty's wife urged her and Ma'amie, Yankuba's wife to all go immediately to State House No. 2, Singharty's Residence for an impromptu house party. They stayed there all night until Singharty, his brother Peter, and Yankuba all came in with mud and gas all over their body, and looking very worried. I was confused but maintained my calm until this morning, I flew to Geneva enroute back home. At Geneva, I joined the same Swiss flight with Jammeh who was also returning home from his trip. Jammeh told me almost everything that happened but then cut it short cause he was quarrelling with his wife then Tuti Faal. He told me to meet with him as soon as we got back home. At the statehouse Jammeh briefly mentioned the Korro's death then said that he was very tired and would like to have some rest. I insisted to talk him and Lamin Barjo also decided to stay. Only three of us and God, I and Barjo told Jammeh that we cannot be part of what happened and He Jammeh should do something about it. We told Jammeh that what happened was outrageous and He should distance himself from this savagery if he wants to preserve his honor. Jammeh sat there looking shocked, dissapointed and helpless. After a long silence we decided to leave him alone. The same night Singharty invited me over to his house with Yankuba, and after a few drinks, he narrated to me in fact laughing how they fooled Korro by inviting him to Yankuba's house, hit him on the head with a baseball bat and shot him in the head at blank range. They later took the dead body to the woods and burned it together with the Mercedes. Peter got burned in the hand cause he was late to withdraw from the fire. My fellow Gambians this incident occurred in our beloved country. The murderers are still walking proudly in the Streets of Banjul and protecting themselves with a worped constitutional law of indemnity yet persecuting honourable Gambians with various Commissions of Inquiries, investigations, etc , etc....... =========================================== I have a couple of questions. Did Singharty know that Koro was going to be fired? If so it seems pointless that he would have to kill him. Also according to your version of the story, Jammeh had nothing to do with Koro's death. So why has he not exposed those involved? Being the cunning politician that he is, it seems punishing the trio would be a good way to earn some brownie points from the Gambian public. =================================================== Author Ebou Jallow (Jambarr) Singharty was aware of the fact that Korro was going to be fired, but according to what he told me, in the presence of Yaya, and the rest of the Council Members, he alleged that Korro was planning a palace coup with the Ghanians, and his plan was to poison Yaya. But knowing Singharty very well I found that very hard to believe. His only motivation for killing Koro was pitched by pure hatred and poor judgement. As far as Jammeh is concerned, I will be very honest and a little bit prudent in pointing fingers cause he never admitted to me that he had full knowledge of what happened; fair enough but Singharty himself made the confession and all five of us are consciously aware of it. So him being the Head of State enthrusted with all power to do justice to all Gambians without passion or prejudice should have taken approriate measures to bring Singharty and the rest to justice like any other common criminal. Obviously Korro did not commit suicide nor was he murdered by any green men from space. There is a lot of direct evidence pointing to the AFPRC concerning Korro's death and a lot of people, like Yaya, Lamin Barjo, Yankuba, our spouses, the Guards...., can reinforce my statements if they believe in God. =========================================== ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
