Information gathered by Foroyaa spoke of the arrest and detention of Private Alagie Saidykhan of the Gambia Armed Forces and a native of Jarra Kanikunda in the lower River Region. According to the information, the soldier went missing since early May, 2009, at Farafenni Military Barracks. Private Alagie Saidykhan is said to be stationed at Farafenni with the second Infantry Battalion and was said to have joined the army in intake 28.
Foroyaa contacted the relatives to find out the veracity of the claims. A cousin brother of private Saidykhan alleged that Saidykhan was arrested at Farafenni barracks and escorted by the military police (MP) to Banjul. He indicated that since that day they did not know his whereabouts. He said they tried to locate him at various security installations but to no avail.
Foroyaa has been contacting the Public Relations Officer of The Gambia Armed Forces, Lieutenant Omar Bojang but no information is forthcoming concerning the matter. He on many occasions asked for more time to look into the matter from the concerned authorities. Up to the time of going to press, we could not get any reaction from him on the matter.
