Gambian, 25, killed by compatriot in Germany

The incident was reported by a German newspaper Presseportal.

The unfortunate incident was confirmed by authorities in Stuttgart. Joint press release by the public prosecutor’s office in Stuttgart and the police headquarters in Reutlingen state,

 A 25-year-old was so badly injured in a dispute in a Sielmingen refugee accommodation on Sunday morning (November 6^th, 2022).

The press release further stated that Dawda died at the scene of the crime. Emergency services arrived the scene after the reported incident.

It is reported that Mr. Jallow was profusely bleeding when the rescue team arrived. Several efforts were made including resuscitation to save his life but he reportedly died of his injuries.

Meanwhile, 26-year-old has since been arrested on strong suspicion, according to reports. Initial investigations on the spot reportedly revealed a suspicion of a 26-year-old Gambian who lives in the building but could no longer be found there.

Accordingly, “at around nine o’clock the suspect came to the Filderstadt police station on his own initiative and stated that he had had an argument with his 25-year-old compatriot.  He was provisionally arrested.  The criminal police have taken over the investigation into the course of events and the background, which is still ongoing at the moment.”

It is reported that suspect was expected to be brought before a magistrate on Monday (November 7^th, 2022).

A Gambian based in Germany and who wish to remain anonymous said “confrontation among Gambians is becoming common.”

 Meanwhile, the Gambian Honorary Counsel in Germany Dr. George Bouché said he is yet to be formally informed by the police. "I just heard it from a fellow Gambian," he said.

Mr. Bouché is working hard to establish details surrounding the circumstances rounding the unfortunate incident.

Shots fired next to President Macky Sall's home - Mermoz

Heavy gunshots were heard in the night from Friday to Saturday at around 5 a.m., not far from the home of the head of state, Macky Sall, located in Mermoz.

According to the information relayed, there is talk of a gang of aggressors who attacked in the street one of the employees of the home of the President of the Republic.

During the attack, the criminals used firearms to better intimidate their target and keep their victims subdued.

But many questions remain around this alleged aggression next to the home of a head of state.

How can an assault take place next to the house of a president of the republic who is the most secure man in the country?

How can aggressors afford to attack individuals next to the home of the head of state, when we know that there is an impressive and heavily armed deployment of security forces roaming around his house?

Was it really an assault? Was the domicile of the head of state targeted? So many questions in the minds of the people.

The attackers were said to have been arrested and neutralized before being sent to the research section of Colobane in charge of the investigation.

It should be noted that this incident occurred in a context of suspicion within the gendarmerie with the leak of an internal investigation into the Adji Sarr-Sonko case.

A case for which the journalist Pape Alé Niang was arrested and placed under arrest for having disclosed classified documents on defence in addition to the offence of spreading false news.For now it is wait and see, as time will tell!
