Africa-Press – Gambia. The Gambia Armed Forces (GAF) has dismissed Lance Corporal Alieu Jallow after he was found guilty of engaging in vulture harvesting, a practice considered both illegal and harmful to the country’s biodiversity.
“Lance Corporal Jallow Alieu, after a thorough investigation, had been found guilty of the offense. Thus, he is dismissed from the GAF,” the army announced in a statement.
GAF confirmed that Jallow has been handed over to the police for further legal action in line with national laws.
In early August, residents of Foni Dobong apprehended Jallow alongside a civilian, Ebrima Khan, after allegedly finding them in possession of mutilated vulture remains.
The army reiterated its commitment to safeguarding the nation’s natural resources, pledging continued collaboration with government institutions, environmental agencies, and the public to protect wildlife across The Gambia.
