                                JAMMEH DETAINS IMAMA BABA LEIGH FOR CRITICISING &ldquo;THE MILE TWO NINE MASS
EXECUTIONS.&rdquo;
Baba Leigh, a prominent Gambian
Imam, who recently criticized the execution of the nine
death row inmates by the country&rsquo;s De Facto leader Yahya Jammeh,
has been arrested and detained by the personnel of National
Intelligence Agency, the Freedom Newspaper can report. Imam Leigh was
picked up from his Kanifing residence on Monday by the NIA. The reason
for his arrest is unknown.  But Sources close to the Jammeh
State House in Banjul said the Kanilai monster has been working on
Baba Leigh&rsquo;s arrest since the religious leader&rsquo;s remarks
condemning the mass execution of the nine inmates, two of whom were
Senegalese nationals.  Mr. Gibbi Bah, and Ms. Tabara Samba,
both Senegalese were executed by dictator Jammeh.  Mr. Leigh
had contended that the killings were unislamic and should be condemned
by God fearing Muslims. Jammeh has since harbored grudges against Imam
Leigh, following his critical statement against his leadership, our
source said adding that Baba Leigh is on Jammeh&rsquo;s blacklist of
folks he lined up for potential elimination. Occasionally, Jammeh will
use his assassin team to secretly poison inmates under state custody.
His assassin team also torture inmates under the President&rsquo;s
directives.  Baba Leigh&rsquo;s wellbeing and personal
safety, is of concern to us, our source said.
