Brother Sainey
Thanks don't told that no tribute was written to his sudden death and thanks for sharing. Sana Manneh work with Junkunda Daffeh in Torch Newspaper and following his legal tussle with PPP, Junkung Daffeh went on to formed his own paper called Sun Torch. It is a fitting tribute from Juns. I have a great time with both and was deeply sad to learned about his death. May his soul rest in peace.

Uncle Sainey,
 
Greetings.
 
 It certainly must be the same gentleman, as I followed postings on the Gambia-L/Post and GPU-USA. 
 
It happens that I do not know the man personally. 
 
Both Bailo and Omar Bah said his nickname was "Ticks."  Without doubt then, you lost that friend, Sanna Manneh. RIP!
 
Kind Regards,
Yero. 
 

There is no god but Allah (SWT) and Muhammad (SAW) is His messenger. Fear and Worship only Allah alone!
