He added that “Boto Keita is the person who disturbed me a lot and Dembo Mbye who was their leader and this group is at Sukuta and they have their agents in the police, NIA who draft out the procedures to carry on with the job.”
“They will give you a small token of amount and asked you to prepare a document that you have received some of or advance payment from them. Once you prepare the document and sign that is an opportunity for them to have evidence against you. The document will be presented in front of you and you will not know where on earth those documents came from,” he explained.
He explained further that “The people involved are Lalo Kanteh and Boto Keita, Lalo Kanteh came to me during the month of Ramadan in 2005 he told me that he heard that am selling a plot of land and he wants to buy it, after the conversation we agreed and gave him advanced payment of D25,000 thousand,” he told TRRC.
