Gambia: Ex-President,Jammeh To Stand Trial For Murdering Nigerian Migrants

Gambia’s Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission (TRRC) set up in 2017 by President Adama Barrow has revealed that the former leader, Yahya Jammeh, is responsible for the killing of some Nigerian migrants among other Africans. In a recent report by the commission, it was claimed that Nigerian migrants were held by Jammeh’s high-ranking military officers in the security services after which they were extra judicially murdered.TRRC stated that the Junglers (as they were called) took orders only from Jammeh while he was in office before his exile in 2017.This is apart from the allegation that Jammeh is guilty of the persecution and unlawful arrest of Gambian journalists, the killing of 17 nationals, amid other heinous acts.
