Ever since he completed his nine-year prison sentence at Gambia’s Mile II Prisons in 2004, the erstwhile Vice Chairman Captain Sana B. Sabally – (affectionately called Bairo) of the Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council (APRC) that toppled the PPP regime in the West African state of The Gambia has been living a quiete life in exile, in neighboring Senegal except for a brief press statement he once made to the local press. While in jail his comrade and jail mate, APRC Spokesman & Interior Minister, Captain Sadibou Haidara died mysteriously and to date, nothing conclusive is known about the late captain’s death. Well, Captain Sabally has promised to send us a detailed report captioned “Yahya Jammeh’s Heap of Lies”- the actual circumstances leading to their arrest and what happened while they were thrown behind the granite walls of Africa’s Hell on Earth. In a series of dispatches Sabally reveals how the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) has been tracking him in the Senegalese capital, Dakar and the all too powerful agency’s efforts to take him out.

In an intelligence memorandum captioned “Trip Report to Dakar, Senegal” purportedly written by the NIA’s Deputy Director of External Services addressed to it’s Director General and copied to DI&DAVE the memo details out the activities of numerous Gambian nationals among them two former vice Presidents: Saikou S. Sabally and Bakary B. Darboe along other prominent dissidents like the leader of the 1981 abortive coup Kukoi Samba Sanyang. The detailed memo takes the reader through the intricate details of African spy tactics and how the Jammeh regime is bent on exterminating people it considers national security threat. The report details Kukoi’s movements in Dakar, where he resides and the hotel, Le Bantamba at #3 Rue Robert Brun X Faidherbe where he only sleeps. It also mentions the activities of the Gambian Kaffo (association) and on the high presence of Jola speaking people who are followers of one Landing Badjie from the Gambian village of Batabou who the report describes as prominent. The memo mentions the presence of one Soto Badjie, younger brother to Ex-police chief #13 Badjie. Says the report, “Soto is a desperate young man in need of help and is a potential recruit to penetrate both the Jola committee and the entire dissidents in the suburbs of Thiaroye and Jecsao.” Reveals the memo, “the three suspected compounds at Parcelles Assainies were all visited but Unit #11 which was highly suspected as the hiding place of Gambian dissidents has no compound presently occupied totally by Gambians”. The memo mentions one Moroh Jaiteh originally from Badibou Njaba kunda as the owner of Unit #4 where the Kaffo that sympathizes with the regime holds its meetings. The report also mentions Villa no.6, Unit 15 and Villa no.303, Unit#16 annexed the Auberge Bar and noted that the occupants drive a Gambian registered 4x4 vehicle, license plate: BJL: 3054C”. The agent concludes thus: “In a nutshell, all the dissident groups people are talking about could be in another part of Senegal since it is a large country but to the best of my knowledge during these few days in Dakar, I have never come across any such group”.
