London Letter: Don’t Let Solo Sandeng Down! Fear Must GO!

Dida Halake

(JollofNews) – I was just browsing the news this peaceful morning in Notting Hill, London, when I saw a certain Omar Njie, who wrote a piece on Amadou Samba for the online media being threatened – exactly in the same language that Pa Nderry M’bai of Freedomnewspaper was threatened a few years ago.

Readers will know that I was threatened, arrested and detained in the Gambia – when I responded by trashing Amadou Samba’s threatening nonsense. Now, that was in the Gambia under Jammeh – when Amadou Samba was the second most powerful man. Readers will also recall how Sedia Bayo was charged in absentia (for a “crime” committed out of the Gambia’s jurisdiction), and how he was then “Interpolled” by Gambian authorities. Amadou Samba was/is the chairman of the Gambia’s Judicial Services Commission.

So this morning I find this piece threatening Omar Njie for writing an expose on Amadou Samba. Omar Njie, they say is Malick Mboge and Malick Mboge is threatened, on behalf of Mr. Amadou Samba, in the following terms:

“We have credible evidence that the man (Omar Njie) who posted on this website is Mr. Malick Mboge, a former associate and mentee of Mr. Amadou Samba, who absconded Gambia after defrauding Mr. Samba and several local banks in the tune of over D300 million.

Malick has never returned to the Gambia as he has a warrant for his arrest and is facing several court judgements of fraudulent activities in the Gambia and Senegal. Mr Mboge, we are fully aware of all the postings you have made on various Gambian online websites with various aliases and be rest assured, we are in the process of serving you legal proceedings for the defamation and character assassination and importantly fraudulent activities you conducted in the Gambia.
You are an embarrassment to your family and the Gambia, and you have been discovered and exposed, and will face the full letter of the law.”

Amadou’s Court Threat To Omar Njie

Let me say this directly to Mr. Amadou Samba. You remind me of a court case here at the Royal Courts of Justice in London where the Tanzanian “business tycoon” – or rather BIG THIEF – behaved as if he was in a Tanzanian court and could direct the judge as he wish. It turned out to be the most amusing case – where the judge at the end recite a children’s story rhyme to describe the Tanzanian “business tycoon”. Of course, the BIG THIEF lost the case and had to pay costs. The BIG THIEF asked for permission to appeal. He was allowed to appeal – on condition he deposited £1 million  to cover costs if he lost again!

But of course, we are talking about the Great Amadou Samba here, and I recalled Amadou Samba’s emotional and shouting challenge to me back in 2008: “What’s that amount to me you idiot”!! This was when I dragged Amadou Samba to the Banjul Police HQ because I wanted the money he had taken from the Daily Observer without following due procedure back.

I was of course arrested! Amadou’s rant was infront of Chief Inspector Sanyang of the Fraud Squad and Amadou showed a cheque to Chief Inspector Sanyang to show that he gave the money to Yahya Jammeh’s Lebanese Kanilai Fence Builder! What has that got to do with the Observer, I said. I have to pay my poorly paid printers. Amadou became even more angry and the Inspector kindly allowed me to leave the room when I asked.

So Amadou, a million pounds may be nothing to you – I mean with the £900 million Panama Papers stuff and all that! But, Omar Njie – if Amadou should pay the most expensive lawyers to sue you, I Dida Halake will work on your defence absolutely for free. That is a promise to the Gambia’s online media and anyone else threatened by Amadou Samba when trying to stop people from telling the world what happened in the Gambia for 22 years when Amadou Samba and Yahya Jammeh were in power. The media protection laws in UK are very strong – and exposing Amadou Samba is absolutely 100% in the “public interest” both under Gambia’s laws and under UK law. By the way Amadou, the Tanzanian BIG THIEF’s UK judge, Mr. Justice Bean, was promoted soon afterwards – to Lord Justice Bean (he is simply brilliant and I try to read all his judgements).

Interpol Threat

The Interpol system in the Gambia was abused by Gambia’s crooks to settle scores under Jammeh. Here is just one example.

President Award Scheme’s Mr. Kujabi’s job was wanted by a brother-in-law of Edward Singhateh. Mr. Kujabi was served with an arrest warrant while he was visiting UK, and he was put on an Interpol wanted list – using a Gambian “Masters Degree Police Chief Inspector called Bah”. So Mr. Kujabi remained in UK and Edward Singhateh’s brother-in-law, penniless and illiterate, took over the President’s Award Scheme and became very rich.

Interpol know full well what the situation is in the Gambia and will not place someone on a “Wanted List” just because Amadou Samba’s or Yahya Jammeh’s police say so. Otherwise Interpol themselves may be sued big time. I have checked this morning and I can confirm that neither “Malick Mboge – Gambian” or Sedia Bayo Gambian-French are on the Interpol Wanted List. I attached the results for the editors.

Show No More Fear Gambians! Jammeh and Amadou Samba Are Out !!

Send Dida Halake your stories – I will be happy to publish them in legally-tight formats. Of course, if I publish the stories you send me under my name, Amadou Samba the would have to sue the man Gambians named “LUNTANGO SUUN GANN GI” – I don’t know what it means but I was told it is good!

Jerrejef – Enjoy and Easy Sunday Morning, Amadou – Luntango will be your friend for awhile yet, inshallah.

    Omar Njie – the BIG MAN has people HUNTING Amadou in Dakar! 100%! Even from South Africa – if he goes there – Jammeh will hunt Amadou! Samba should listen to “Money rant”, a u-tube audio-poem by Benjamin Zephaniah – since he, Amadou, has lots of time holed up in Dakar hiding away from Jammeh’s goons and from Sedia Bayo!
    But my offer is serious – people like Amadou bet on the fact that ordinary people have to pay a fortune even to say “hello” to lawyers, so they give in to avoid legal costs. I will do all the legal steps free of charge for JollofNews, search my 6000-plus case law file, and represent you in court – ALL FREE OF CHARGE. I just looked up “Tanzanian Tycoon, Mr. Justice Bean” on google … the case was defamation, tycoon lost because of “Qualified Privilege”. Amadou has NO HOPE of winning any case against a Gambian Media organisation because Amadou’s Govt in Gambia terrorises the media!! I will be happy to give a Witness Statement to that effect – and my Statement will be unchallenged evidence since Amadou Samba will NOT DARE challenge it!! LoL – I love this! Happy New Year.
