The inspector general of police, Landing 13 Badjie, was over the weekend
arrested and taken to Mile 2 Central Prisons.

IGP Badjie

According to our sources, several other people including senior police
officers were also taken along in the same wave of high profile arrests. The
IGP and co were said to have been arrested in the early hours of Saturday
morning and are currently being detained at Mile 2.

The Daily Observer was also informed that more people were arrested over the
weekend, but up to the time of going to press, their names were not known.

The reason of this recent spate of arrest of the police top brass and senior
officials is still not known as no official reason has been given. This led
to several theories as to the reason for this development.

One of such theories spoke of a deal that was uncovered, while another
suggested of a problem that arose following a recent public statement about
the murder of Deyda Hydara. Sources have indicated that IGP Badjie was
spotted around the vicinity of Kotu police station on Friday evening but it
is not known what he was there for
