The
following press release reads:
The
Gambia Police Force Press Release
It
has come to the notice of the Office of the Inspector General of Police that
some people are fond of erecting tires, pecks and placing big stones on public
roads to avoid vehicles from coming close to their fences.
This
behavior is causing misunderstanding between the drivers, pedestrians and
compound owners. Therefore the office of the IGP in collaboration with the
National Roads Authority warns the general public especially the affected
individuals to desist from such behaviour because it is causing obstruction and
is not in line with the traffic and NRA acts.
The
understanding and cooperation of the General Public particularly those directly
affected is highly solicited.
