We will never be intimidated! We will definitely take this country, and we are prepared to take the country. If you mean taking the country means taking government, well, that is your interpretation,\u201d lawyer Darboe, in optimism, uttered.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday evening, the Gambia Police announced the arrest of UDP\u2019s Momodou Sabally in connection to a purported planned coup that emerged on Tuesday evening. The arrest and eventual detention, according to the police, was in connection to a TikTok video circulating online where Sabally addressed \u2018UDP TikTokers\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The former Vice President informed the press that Sabally\u2019s arrest has been planned several months ago. He revealed that some time ago, an audio was received from an NPP member who called for the silence of Momodou Sabally and Ebrima Dibba, both members of UDP.<\/p>\n<p>He said the NPP\u2019s plans are hatched now, and the judiciary is being used in the \u2018unholy act\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a scheme that had been conceived several months ago. The evil scheme that they conceived has now been hatched, and unfortunately, the judiciary has been used in this unholy act\u201d, Darboe voiced.<\/p>\n<p>According to Lawyer Ousainou AN Darboe, Sabally never said they will take over the government. He emphatically told the press that Sabally said the UDP will lock the country, which is in essence means the party will lock up the country so that President Barrow will find it uncomfortable to go to any part of the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Sabally said we will lock this country, what is wrong with that? Does that tantamount to taking over this government?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>He said Sabally\u2019s continuous detention is an abuse of judicial process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to assure you all that, in fact, what is happening is just an abuse of judicial process\u201d, he asserted.<\/p>\n<p>The Fatu Network understands that some youths are planning a protest on Monday against the detention of Mr. Momodou Sabally. Additionally, an unconfirmed judiciary source tells this medium that Momodou Sabally would be charged for treason.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
