Dou Sannoh, the president’s political adviser has said he was not arrested by the police compared to different emerging news from some media outlets.

He confirmed to The Voice that since he has a confrontation with the Gambia Democratic Congress (GDC) supporters in Sara Talata Sannoh on the 6th of April 2023, he said he has not been called by the police until recently but not arrested.

Sannoh said when the police recently called him about the incident he told them that he did nothing wrong, adding that, what the argument was all about is the National People’s Party (NPP) candidate who already won that position.

Sannoh reacted to the publication that he was arrested and charged, “I don’t know where they get that information but I was never arrested, I was called by the police and I indeed answered their call. They promised to call me back and I am kindly waiting for that call, until then I cannot add any further information”.
