yes the Oku marabout played and important role in the social life of banjul . from the abansholas to the flos( chasing by the agougous) at allen street.

Chamsu cokers , deens  , savages and coles etc !1

How about the hunting man devils ( originally the kamajors )

do you remember Inspector nickle ( well known for his strict police disicpline ) ?

some of My best freinds were from the Oku marabout community and I always prayed at their small allen street mosque/and oxford streets crossings/  during Ramadan because they had a longer nafilah after we break the fasting

cheers
