(JollofNews) – The Gambian police have issued a statement explaining that its directive for conyoy users to acquire police permit does not apply to President-elect Adama Barrow.
Police said their directive was made in good faith and is not meant to maliciously target any particular group of individuals.
The statement state: “It could be recalled that some people are in the habit of forming convoys during marriage ceremonies notably occasioned at the office of Registrar of Marriages at the Ministry of Justice in Banjul. Such convoys would thereafter move from Banjul to other parts of the Greater Banjul Areas (KSMD) which on many occasion leads to the obstruction of the free flow of traffic.
“In light of the above, the Office of the Inspector General of Police deems it necessary to act in consonance with its mandate as embedded in the Constitution and making particular regards to the Motor Traffic Act remind the public of its duty in ensuring the free movement of goods and persons. It is therefore incumbent upon anyone wishing to indulge in same to place a request with the Office of The Inspector General of Police for the issuance of Permit upon processing.”
Meanwhile, following the media statement on Monday, officials representing President-elect Adama Barrow have engaged the Inspector General of Police to clarify the announcement as regards the movements of the president-elect.
During the meeting, the Inspector General of Police clarified that his announcement does not apply to the President-elect Adama Barrow.
Police will allow Mr Barrow’s convoys to proceed to destinations on his schedule under normal traffic flows as he meets and interacts with a broad spectrum of Gambian society in the run-up to the inauguration on 19 January 2017.

good evening to all the contributers
I have just sat down listening to the online radio., I for once now belief the incumbent leader has some mental problem. how can one man goes against the nation that voted him out. My assessment on his vocal speech on the radio tells me, he is using Gambians for his personal gains . we Gambians are very clever and smart thinkers. Yaya mentioned on the radio countless times he is standing for the country and Gambians and he will die for them, can someone please tell him the Gambians want a change not under his rule. This is clearly bullying the whole nation and making a mockery out off the Gambians. This man has a split personality most probably some delusional disorder. he doesn’t see what other people see due to changes in his mental capacity, when people see blue he sees red. I bet this guy is on some form medication or needs to be put on one. God bless our motherland.
I am God elect prophet of all nation. I am a Ghanaian. God took me to Gambia on the 24th December 2016. To inform the President to step down to make way for the president elect. God also told me that He has assembled few of Ghanaian soldiers and many Senegal soldiers to overthrow his government. God said He will assemble all the soldiers in Senegal. God have chosen the president elect of Gambia. I have called the protocol office several times but no one is picking. After this message has been read to Gambians God will arise for the people. This is the message from God to the president of Gambia. His time is up. Thank you. God bless Gambia

It’s very unfortunate for a leader to live outside his People’s wish, Gambians have spoken who is he(Yahya) to impose himself. God bless Gambians. God bless Gambia.
