Unassailable sources from the office of the President say that Yahya Bajinka, the younger brother to exiled Ex- State House Commander Major Khalipha Bajinka who narrowly escaped death in the hands of Jammeh’s killer marksmen on July 22nd. 2006, was arrested yesterday and is currently undergoing rigorous interrogations at Mile II Central Prisons (Africa’s Hell on Earth). The regime of torturous interrogation reveal our most competent sources, centers on comments the younger Bajinka made in reference to Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade, that the octogenarian Head of State was a democrat who upholds the Rule of Law.
Yahya Bajinka who is also an NIA officer allegedly went on to compare Yahya Jammeh and Wade and concluded that Jammeh has a lesser democratic inclination. Applauding Wade says one of our NIA insiders irritated one Mrs. Njie also, an NIA operative on Counter Intelligence and wife of State House Commander Sereign Modou Njie. Mrs. Njie wasted no time in communicating Yahya Bajinka’s comments to her husband who in turn alerted President Jammeh that Major Bajinka’s junior brother was applauding Senegalese President Wade and being highly sarcastic of him. Within the twinkle of an eye reveal our sources, the entire state House apparatus was put on alert and Yahya Bajinka was immediately arrested and whisked to Mile II Central Prisons.
“As I write this piece to you, Yahya Bajinka is still held at the Mile II Prisons and his family in Brikama (45KMs off Banjul) has no information about his whereabouts. I will keep you posted,” concludes the report.
It can be recalled that in the aftermath of Major Bajinka’s escape, all of his family members were arrested, Yahya Bajinka inclusive. He was detained incommunicado for at least two weeks until after his brother’s scandalous escape died down. Senior NIA operatives like Ebrima Manneh and Nuru Secka were subsequently arrested and sent to Mile II for their failure to either kill or capture Major Bajinka from his Mile VII militay quarters after a year-long military training in Jagi College, Kaduna Sate, Nigeria. Since the Major’s escape, journalists have been waiting with hopeful anticipation to hear what evidence he has to offer in the most callous activities that he knows that we know, that he knows. As the longest serving Aide de-Camp to Chairman Jammeh who later metamorphosed to President Jammeh, the urbane Major Bajinka was a confidant and was privy to many activities that will no doubt be vital to any future prosecution of the Jammeh regime. We at the Echo look forward to the day when Bajinka Talks!
