The
Swiss authorities have indicated that the former Gambian minister of the
Interior, Ousman Sonko, who was arrested in Switzerland recently, would be
released if no one proffers any evidence and cases against him.
In
one of the Swiss Daily Newspaper reports on 10 February 2017, it was reported
that the Swiss authorities are asking for names and cases on the alleged crimes
committed by the former Interior minister in ex-president Yahya Jammeh-led
government, since 1994 to 2016.
The
paper reportedly disclosed that if no accuser comes forward, the Swiss
authorities would have no grounds to hold Sonko, but to release him.
Meanwhile,
the Gambia Government is seeking the repatriation of Ousman Sonko for his
alleged crimes committed during the Jammeh regime. This was revealed by new
Interior Minister Mai Ahmed Fatty in his Facebook.
