Representatives of the Car Dealers Association of The Gambia were on Thursday afternoon at the police headquarters in Banjul to seek a permit to stage a protest over the demolition of Car City in Yundum.
The representatives were barred from entering the HQ but their leader was subsequently allowed in to present the association’s request for a permit.
The association’s members were also denied a photo opportunity at the police HQ.
The car dealers have accused the Gambia government of illegal demolition as well as destruction of livelihoods.
