He claims the directive came from President of The Gambia Football Federation (GFF) Lamin Kaba Bajo and Secretary General Lamin M. Jassey.
Jaiteh was reportedly picked up by officers from the Kanifing Police Post after he reportedly refused to comply with the alleged directive, following a report made by GFF officials.
When contacted, Baboucarr Camara, Director of Communication at the Football House, denied the claims.
“Like I said, we don’t arrest anyone at the football house, much more a stakeholder.
The football house belongs to the members of the GFF, so why would we arrest anyone there?”
He added: “I was at the GFF today, as usual, until closing time and I wasn’t aware of any incident there.”
However, an officer at the Kanifing Police Post confirmed that a case involving the GFF and Amadou Jaiteh was indeed reported, relating to an alleged denial of access.
The police stated that both parties were advised to resolve the matter internally using existing GFF structures, noting that they could not intervene directly as Amadou Jaiteh is a stakeholder and a club representative.
The incident adds another layer of tension within Gambian football circles as the GFF presidential race continues to unfold.
