A police officer identified as Sergeant Gibba (a member of the PIU posted in Kanifing) has been arrested and detained for allegedly inserting his finger into the private part of a 21-year old lady (name withheld), who works as a waitress, LamToroNews has learnt.
The incident occurred on Thursday late evening around 8pm at the Lemon Creek Hotel Beach in Bijilo. Reliable sources hinted LamToro News that the suspect Sergeant Gibba and three others met the complainant Momodou Lamin Kah and his fiancée at the Lemon Creek Beach.
”The suspect Sergeant Gibba and one other person who identified himself as Sergeant Colley told the complainant Momodou Lamin Kah and his 21-year-old fiancée (name withheld) that they are police officers. They accused of the complainants of engaging in indecent act at the beach. The suspect Sergeant Gibba then allegedly undressed the complainants and inserted his finger into the private part of the lady. He recorded the act and then demanded a sum of D30,000 from the complainants. He also threatened to release the video if they fail to pay the said amount,” said one of our sources.
LamToro News has also gathered that the complainants reported the case and Sergeant Gibba was arrested and is currently under investigation.

”Yes, it is true that the said matter has been reported. The suspect is a PIU officer at Kanifing but he is not a Tourism Security Unit officer. He has been arrested and is undergoing investigation,” the police PRO stated.
