Brother Omar Saho,

Many many thanks for clearing the air. I am sure most Gambians will celebrate Dumo's release and his reunification with his family. I hope old Mum  fully recovers soon, inspite of Dumo's continuing nightmare of being free and unfree at the same time. 
But did you say a bond of half a million dalasi? For the Gambia our homeland!

Cheers,
Momodou  S Sidibeh

  Dear brothers, sisters friends, well wishers and sympathizers I am hereby extending our families gratitude to you all for the support be it moral or otherwise in the wake of our pain in agony through the four years  brother Dumo spent in custody. Friday July the 30th. was a relieving day of joy and happiness in our family. But was short lived just for six hours.  As we were still wiping  and weeping the tears of joy for the return of dear brother came four officers from the Serre kunda CID branch to re-arrest brother Dumo without any arrest warrant or showing identification. These four officers came in and Dumo stood up and shake their hands one after the other while asking them their names. He requested them to sit believing that they were well wishers there came the tone from their leader Touray asking Dumo you have to follow us to the Serre Kunda Police Station for questioning. Dumo pleaded to them to have a shower and will follow them to the station or will come by himself but this was denied by the leader. Saying he has to follow them or it will be done in his way. Then the all the family members both men and women made a stand off that he is not going. By then our 84 years mum nearly collapsed due the shock  of the re-arrest our mum have been laying ill for along period. 
  One of our family friend and neighbour Pa Ebou Ndow intercepted and receiving a promise from the arresting officers that he was just going to be asked questions and then release but this to our astonishment was a big lie. AS Dumo arrived at the Serre kunda Police station he was boarded a white double cabin pick up and driven to the Police Head Quarters in Banjul were he was detained in Cell no. 2 until the following morning  Saturday. He was either questioned or asked to write a statement, the only reason they gave for his arrest was the wanted to serve him with the appeal. Later we were told before his release we should put a bail bond with a title deed and in sum it was D500.000,- Now thank God he is going about his business and with his Swedish wife Annika. 
  ONCE THANKING YOU ALL FOR TIRELESS EFFORTS FOLLOWING US ALL THIS LONG FOUR YEARS, ONE MONTH AND 6 DAYS . OUR GRATITUDE CANNOT BE EXPRESSED BY WORDS BUT WE PRAY YOU ALL THAT LET THE ALMIGHTY BE WITH YOU.
