Police Prosecutors in Banjul have indicted General Saul Badjie, former top Military aide to Ex-President Jammeh, and two other alleged Junglars with the Murder of Veteran journalist Deyda Hydara, the killing of the two Gambian U.S citizens among other serious crimes, The Alkamba Times can authoritatively report.
General Saul Badjie, Major Landing Tamba, and Warrant Officer Musa Badjie are currently detained at the Mile Two Central Prison in Banjul, awaiting the court appearance.
General Badjie and the two other alleged Junglars were arrested by personnel of the Military Police of The Gambia Armed Forces (GAF) on Monday. They returned from Equatorial Guinea two weeks after the presidential election in The Gambia.
A source who is familiar with the matter and wishes to speak to The Alkamba Times on the condition of anonymity confirmed the development.
