By Musa Barrow
The Public Relation Officer (PRO) Gambia Armed Forces, Lt. Omar Bojang has refuted reports that Lt. General Lang Tombong Tamba and others, who were dismissed from Gambia Armed Forces last week, were arrested.
PRO Bojang speaking to this reporter described reports of the arrest of the dismissed members of Armed Forces as untrue and baseless.
The dismissed security officers whose arrest has been refuted by the Army PRO are Lt. General Lang Tombong Tamba, the Ex-CDS, Brigadier General Omar Bun Mbye, Colonel Demba Njie, Major Malamin Badjie and Captain Lamin Faati.
Furthermore, Army PRO Bojang also told this reporter that he was not aware of reports that some Gambian Security Personnels were shot in the Southern Senegalese Region of Casamance, allegedly by MFDC rebels, a separatist movement fighting for independence for the Casamance region.
Meanwhile, on the appointment of Major General Mr. Ebrima Bah as the Inspector General of the Armed Forces, PRO Bojang said the role of Inspector General of the Armed Forces is to oversee military establishments and installations within the Gambia Armed Forces prior to the creation to this post they have what they called director of inspectorate. So this new portfolio will be taking care of the director of inspectorate of the Armed forces.
Mr. Bah’s appointment was announced on Monday 12 October 2009.
