>Ebrima,
>Yahya Jammeh is determined, yet again, according to a reliable insider, to
>do away with Edward and Peter. The shooting incident which took place at
>Edward's residence a week and a half ago was an attempt to get rid of the
>Singhateh brothers. This is the second attempt. The first took place over a
>year ago in which at least six security personnel were killed and their
>bodies dumped at sea which later washed ashore and subsequently and falsely
>identified as fishermen and worriedly buried. The second attempt took place
>when Yahya was away in Libya which is becoming a trade-mark of his.
>Instructions are left behind and the dirty work is done during his absence.
>Remember Koro, the school chilren etc. Same pattern.  Well this time
>around, Edward and his loyal guards were on ready alert waiting for
>Jammeh's hit men to arrive and were repulsed with at least one fatality.
>Since his transfer to the Department of Works and after the shooting
>incident, Edward has set up an elaborate security network around him both
>at home and at his office.  It is near impossible to schedule a meeting
>with him in the office.  Prospective visitors must pass through an
>elaborate security checks carried out by soldiers/security service men at
>the entrance of his office.  After which you are escorted by his security
>to his office while they wait outside the door. After meeting him, you are
>escorted out of the office and the building. These extra precautionary
>security measures are put in place by Edward as a result of the near-misses
>he has encountered over the past couple of years.  He has first hand
>experience in this area since he was the one who led the group that
>"captured" Sanna Sabally when they wanted to get rid of the then Vice
>Chairman of the AFPRC.  As I intimated to you a while back, either Edwrad
>or Yahya will go soon.  The two cannot and will not be in the same
>Government for long. Mark my word.
