> Author Ebou Jallow (Jambarr) Topic: Korro Ceesay's Death- What really happened
> It has come to my attention that a lot of people are very interested in
> knowing the whole story on Korro's death. I am constantly being rebuked for not
> coming out earlier to expose the whole story whilst I was in Government; but I
> believed then timing was very important and besides it would have been
> suicidal and the whole truth would have been buried with me forever... Now here is
> the story- I first had the oppurtunity to know Korro on a diplomatic mission
> to the UN. He was then an undersecretary at the Ministry of Finance, since
> then we became very close friends. I had alot of admiration for him, he was
> exceptionally smart, full of ideas and very enthused about our revolutionary
> cause. Being a young man like myself we bonded easily. Immediately after that
> mission, Yaya wanted to reshuffle his Cabinet, and Korro became a very favorable
> candidate. Korro was a star in the Council, personally he felt like a
> brother to me and we consulted on issues and I use to admirably call him SERRING
> DARRA. But obviuosly not everyone in the Council was happy with him. Edward
> Singharty felt very threatened by the amount of respect and admiration that
> Korro enjoyed from all of us including Yaya. Eventually his envy and insecurity
> turned to paranoia, that Korro might eventually be a prime candidate for No. 2
> after the Elections. Besides Singharty never like the idea of us resigning
> from the military but Yaya was his main obstacle and he couldn't get my
> support to derail the process by overthrowing Yaya. Unfortunately enough, Koro
> became too overzealous and made some few misstakes by sometimes bypassing the
> whole Council in making decisions on his own and later informing Yaya. Of course
> this angered all of us and gave Singharty enough ammunition to alienate Koro
> from Yaya and the rest of us. Korro further aggravated his relations with
> Singharty with some petty confrontations which Singharty, being the type he is,
> saw as a personal vendetta and vowed to avenge. As time went on Korro's
> circumstances deteriorated to a point that Yaya asked the SG then Abou Wadda to
> draft a letter firing Korro. This occurred on a Tuesday morning in my
> presence. I left for Libya on Wednesday morning. On Friday that same week, Yaya left
> for Cairo and on that same fateful evening Koro was murdered. I first learned
> about it from Gaddafi himself who was utterly disturbed and he told me point
> blank that I should tell Yaya to quit this nonsense. I was very confused
> myself and felt really stupid. I returned to my hotel room after meeting
> Gaddafi, and called my wife immediately. She told me that she couldn't sleep the
> night before (meaning Friday) because all the Guards at Yankuba's House were
> abruptly told to come to my Residence at Fajara cause there is some suspicious
> activity at the coastline. She later told me that Aja, Singharty's wife urged
> her and Ma'amie, Yankuba's wife to all go immediately to State House No. 2,
> Singharty's Residence for an impromptu house party. They stayed there all ni
> ght until Singharty, his brother Peter, and Yankuba all came in with mud and
> gas all over their body, and looking very worried. I was confused but
> maintained my calm until this morning, I flew to Geneva enroute back home. At Geneva,
> I joined the same Swiss flight with Jammeh who was also returning home from
> his trip. Jammeh told me almost everything that happened but then cut it short
> cause he was quarrelling with his wife then Tuti Faal. He told me to meet
> with him as soon as we got back home. At the statehouse Jammeh briefly
> mentioned the Korro's death then said that he was very tired and would like to have
> some rest. I insisted to talk him and Lamin Barjo also decided to stay. Only
> three of us and God, I and Barjo told Jammeh that we cannot be part of what
> happened and He Jammeh should do something about it. We told Jammeh that what
> happened was outrageous and He should distance himself from this savagery if
> he wants to preserve his honor. Jammeh sat there looking shocked, dissapointed
> and helpless. After a long silence we decided to leave him alone. The same
> night Singharty invited me over to his house with Yankuba, and after a few
> drinks, he narrated to me in fact laughing how they fooled Korro by inviting him
> to Yankuba's house, hit him on the head with a baseball bat and shot him in
> the head at blank range. They later took the dead body to the woods and
> burned it together with the Mercedes. Peter got burned in the hand cause he was
> late to withdraw from the fire. My fellow Gambians this incident occurred in
> our beloved country. The murderers are still walking proudly in the Streets of
> Banjul and protecting themselves with a worped constitutional law of
> indemnity yet persecuting honourable Gambians with various Commissions of Inquiries,
> investigations, etc , etc....... ===========================================
> I have a couple of questions. Did Singharty know that Koro was going to be
> fired? If so it seems pointless that he would have to kill him. Also according
> to your version of the story, Jammeh had nothing to do with Koro's death. So
> why has he not exposed those involved? Being the cunning politician that he
> is, it seems punishing the trio would be a good way to earn some brownie
> points from the Gambian public.
> =================================================== Author Ebou Jallow (Jambarr) Singharty was aware of the fact that Korro was
> going to be fired, but according to what he told me, in the presence of
> Yaya, and the rest of the Council Members, he alleged that Korro was planning a
> palace coup with the Ghanians, and his plan was to poison Yaya. But knowing
> Singharty very well I found that very hard to believe. His only motivation for
> killing Koro was pitched by pure hatred and poor judgement. As far as Jammeh
> is concerned, I will be very honest and a little bit prudent in pointing
> fingers cause he never admitted to me that he had full knowledge of what
> happened; fair enough but Singharty himself made the confession and all five of us
> are consciously aware of it. So him being the Head of State enthrusted with all
> power to do justice to all Gambians without passion or prejudice should have
> taken approriate measures to bring Singharty and the rest to justice like
> any other common criminal. Obviously Korro did not commit suicide nor was he
> murdered by any green men from space. There is a lot of direct evidence
> pointing to the AFPRC concerning Korro's death and a lot of people, like Yaya, Lamin
> Barjo, Yankuba, our spouses, the Guards...., can reinforce my statements if
> they believe in God.
