Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Saikou Omar Jeng, former director of Operations of the defunct National Intelligence Agency (NIA), has been allegedly stabbed by another convict at the State Central Prison \u2013 Mile Two \u2013.<\/b><\/p>\n

Jeng, who is currently at Mile 2 Prison, was sentenced to death with four with other top former officials of the NIA for his involvement in the death of Solo Sandeng of the opposition United Democratic Party (UDP).<\/p>\n

Jeng was reportedly stabbed by another prisoner in the person of Amadou Manneh.<\/p>\n

The deputy spokesperson of The Gambia Prison Service (GPS), Luke Jatta, has confirmed the development, saying: “The incident occurred on Tuesday 12 December, 2023 at around 17: 15 p.m., while Mr Jeng was taking ablution. A convicted prisoner Amadou Manneh took a screwdriver and stabbed him around his neck trice.”<\/p>\n

“The suspect was apprehended and Jeng was immediately rushed to Ndemban Clinic for treatment, he said.<\/p>\n

The suspected prisoner, he went on, has been charged with assault causing bodily harm by the police upon investigation into the matter,” he posited.<\/p>\n

PRO Jatta further revealed that Amadou Manneh was eventually arraigned before a magistrate court in Banjul.<\/p>\n
