What a sensation, a great scoop by your source Ebrima.
However, we must also contemplate the possibility of
Baba being a victim of the oft quoted truism, that
what goes around comes around. As a master abductor
and kidnaper, Baba may himself have been made to
disappear; since his being around has become very
uncomfortable for the criminal syndicate.
If the absconding story comes to be confirmed, we must
have evidence to believe it; that is Baba appearing
later to tell his own tale, or his sighting confirmed
by independent witnesses. Otherwise, we must conclude
that he has been eliminated by his own gang for being
the focus of UN attention, and the starting of a
process that will eventually lead to the chief
gangster.
We hope hope Baba will be alive and well, hiding
somewhere, and compiling his X-rated version of the
traumatic six years of the APRC.
