To think that there would be some 50 security officers between Barra and 
Amdalai? 2.5 for every kilometer?

There must be a better way of securing those borders.

Tuesday, September 16, 2008

/The Point/ has learned through reliable sources that the security 
personnel who were sacked following the escape of Charles Northfield, 
the General Manager of Carnegie Minerals who was standing trial at the 
High Court for various crimes including economic crime, have been 
reinstated.

As many as 50 security officers who were posted between Barra and 
Amdallai in the North Bank Region were reported to have been sacked in 
the wake of the reported escape of Mr. Northfield, who is said to have 
escaped through that route to neighbouring Senegal.

According to our sources, 16 police officers, 22 immigration officers, 4 
National Intelligence Agency officers and 8 customs officers were given 
their marching orders early last week after the reported escape of Mr. 
Northfield.

Recent reports quoted from the /Daily Mail/ have it that Mr. Charles 
Northfield arrived in the UK on the 2nd of September 2008. The paper 
reported that Mr. Northfield was smuggled out of the country ahead of 
his trial by security expert Martin MacGowan-Scanlon through Senegal.
