Lieutenant
Ebrima Jallow, a vessel captain and commander of the Navy high speed boats,
said he narrowly escaped arrest when armed soldiers invaded his Jalanbang home
to arrest him.
Jallow
said he was able to escape the clandestine arrest order for he was informed by
a colleague that soldiers were coming to his house to arrest him for not
complying with orders.
“But
fortunately for me, I fled out of the country with my family before the
soldiers arrive to raid my compound,” he said.
The
Navy Lieutenant said he defected from the armed forces after refusing command
from seniors to put up a fight with the Ecowas forces who were then due to
enter The Gambia.
Lieutenant
Jallow is presently in Senegal with his family.
