Point Director  
Pap Saine  Disappoints His Journalists
By Solo,  Banjul correspondent...........June18th,  2008A young sports  
reporter at the Point Newspaper by the name of Mr. Ebou Manneh has received the  
shock of his life recently when he wrote a story indicating that the new  
coach for the Scorpions Paul 
Put was not happy with the ministry’s plans to  hire a Gele-Gele to transport 
the Scorpions to Dakar 
ahead of their match  with Algeria.

According to sources at the Point Newspaper, Mr. Pap Saine,  the Point 
Director who was not keen 
in publishing the story not only dropped  the story but called Mass Axi Gai, 
the Secretary of State for 
Sports and  told him what the boy wrote; but that he Pap Saine has dropped 
the  story.

Sources close to the Point further indicate that the Secretary of  State for 
Sports, Mass Axi Gai later 
called the reporter Mr Ebou Manneh and  accused him of being used by somebody 
to undermine him 
Axi. Impeccable  sources added that he told the young reporter that he is of 
age now because he  is 
over 56 years but did not stop there. He was said to have threatened the  
reporter as thus,” If anybody 
is trying to kill me, I will kill you,” he  told Ebou Manneh.

Sources further revealed that the big man later went to  the young man’s 
father to ask for mediation 
between him and the boy; that he  wants bygones to be bygones.

Mr. Manneh who was visibly shaken by the  threat was said to have notified 
the FA about the matter.

Information  circulating among the media practitioners speaks unkindly of Mr. 
Pap Saine as  Director 
who should be the protector of all the journalists especially the  young ones 
but has instead endeavored 
to put the young man’s life and  profession under threat by his exposure of 
an internal report which was  
dropped. They said he should have known better than to stoop so  low.
