Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The Office of the Inspector General of Police in a press release says it takes \u201cfull responsibility\u201d for the remarks made by Government Spokesperson Ebrima G. Sankareh regarding circumstances surrounding the 12 September 2023 incident that claimed the lives of two police officers and injured one.<\/b><\/p>\n

According to the Police, Mr. Sankareh\u2019s statements were based on the outcome of preliminary investigations at the material time in question as provided by the Office of the Inspector General.<\/p>\n

The full text of release reads below:<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Office of the Inspector General of Police takes full responsibility for the entire statement delivered by The Gambia Government Spokesperson, Mr Ebrima G. Sankareh about the tragic circumstances surrounding the Tuesday, 12 September 2023 double murder case at Sukuta-Jabang Traffic Light.<\/p>\n

While it is regrettable that Mr Sankareh\u2019s statements about the shooter, Ousainou Bojang\u2019s occupation as a security guard at the Brikama Area Council angered sections of the society, what the Spokesperson reported was entirely accurate as provided by the Office of the Inspector General of Police based on the outcome of preliminary investigations at the material time in question.<\/p>\n

Like all murder and high-profile cases, preliminary investigations are subject to change based on the suspect\u2019s pattern of disclosure and that is exactly what happened in this case. This was the information provided to Mr Sankareh for his routine radio appearance.<\/p>\n

The Gambia Government reassures the public that everything Mr Sankareh said that morning was based on preliminary information related to the circumstances surrounding the shooter and his occupation which was furnished by the Office of The Inspector General of Police.<\/p>\n

As Gambia Government Spokesperson, Mr Sankareh is at liberty to report, comment and defend Government\u2019s communications policies and programmes about any Ministry, Department, Agency, or entity in The Gambia and internationally.\u201d<\/p>\n
