Ebrima Dibba just arrived at the Banjul Magistrate’s Court. Below is the particular of offense.

“Seditious Intention contrary to section 51(1)(a) punishable under section 52(1)(b)
&(c) of the Criminal Code Cap10:01 Volume III Laws of The Gambia 2009.

Ebrima Dibba sometime in the month of May, 2024 in Banjul and diverse places in the Republic of The Gambia, you recorded and published a WhatsApp audio stating
"that the President is greedy and knows nothing, immature, exercises rudeness and foolishness" a statement calculated to bring into hatred, contempt or to excite disaffection against the person of the President or the Government of The Gambia, thereby committed offence.”

Ebrima Dibba informed me yesterday that he was charged with sedition. I'm reliably informed that he'll be taken to court tomorrow. At 00:30, he would have been in custody for 72hrs, the max period allowed by the constitution. A second longer will be unconstitutional and unlawful.

I believe that his arrest and detention are politically motivated, aimed at suppressing the opposition & stifling dissent. All of us must be outraged by this. The police are alarmingly weaponising the law to target critics & the opposition. Silence is complicity. We must all condem these tactics. CSOs and influential people must speak up.

This must not be seen as an UDP issue but a deliberate & systemic attack on our democracy and fundamental rights & freedoms. We have to be consistent in our condemnations. All of us must speak up and loud against this dictatorial tendency. If Dibba is detained a minute longer than 72 hours, we will sue the IGP for unlawful detention and a flagrant violation of his Chapter IV fundamental rights and freedoms. The TRRC dedicated a whole theme to these sort of egregious conduct by the state.

Referendum!

Vote (YES👍🏾)- @ODarboeOfficial for rule of law, good governance, responsible representation, restoring of our dignity and lost glory.

Vote (NO👎🏾) - @BarrowPresident for corruption continuity, power abuse and blatant disregard to the will and aspirations of Gambians.

A strong stance and zero tolerance on violence of any form against women and girls.

The manifesto of @OfficialUDPGmb is unmatched!

I don’t know if it is 30+ but I’ve watched many of these slow-mo videos and still do not see what they are doing.

Will Smith said, “her happiness is not my responsibility. She should be happy and I should be happy individually. Then we come together and share our happiness. Giving someone a responsibility to make you happy when you can’t do it for yourself is selfish”

let that sink in.

I am not saying Mai Ahmad Fatty shouldn't attend @deps_jaiteh vs. Speaker of House et el. But he is definitely not sitting in the gallery in this photo. Spectator my left foot... Go Ya Kumba go. Win or lose, you've strengthen our democracy & earned our respect #Gambia
