Saturday, 02 March 2013 19:53

(JollofNews) – The 2 tonnes cocaine haul seized in Gambia in 2010 will be burned on March 4, a statement from the British High Commission in Banjul said, calling on the press to attend the ceremony.

The cocaine was seized in a joint operation between Gambian forces and the UK Serious Organized Crime Agency (SOCA).

They were believed to be bound for Europe.

The UK High Commission in October last year gave Gambia an incinerator through the National Drug Enforcement Agency (NDEA) to assist with their drug destruction operations. Cocaine

In addition to the incinerator the British High Commission also presented to the NDEA a 4X4 vehicle which is expected to enable the anti-drug agency tackle the problem of drug trafficking in the hard to reach up-country regions of the country.

The burning will take place at the National Health Laboratory on Bertil Harding Highway (opposite Espace Garage), at 11:30, the UK High Commission’s media advisory said.

High Commissioner David Morley will be in attendance, the statement added.

You said it all African, these are the kind of people hoodwinked by Jammeh in broad daylight.

One thing you failed to mention is that he added a Rolls Royce Phantom to his fleet of cars last year.
The evidence is on YouTube where Jammeh speaking on English language to his daughter. As for the wife, she despised everything that's Gambian; she got foreign chefs, physicians you name it.
You calk that person a Pan African or has love for his country? My foot!!!!!

Uncle Malick, Yes we applaud France by taking it responsibilitie s these time around. They have had a bilateral relationship in the area of security. Our critizism to them has worked. On like 1994,when they turn their back on RWANDA'S civil war between the TUTSI's and the HUTU's,that claimed almost a million lives.

Remember, The Malians were amongst the countries that help the FRENCH's to regain heir country back from Germany during 1939/45 White peoples War. Thes is what is expect of them.

Let me enlighten you jack of all traders. EU, can go to hell, by dectating us on how best to run our sovereign country. but not on all issues. We can still work with them in other area's as partners. We cannot stand alone in this world. We must work with our partners to fulfilled our commitments. We are committed to dialogue to resolving all issues with respect.

If we burnt these drugs alone,then Uncle Malick and b4africa,will deny it ever took place. That is why we call our distractor to confirm to them that we're "TRANSPARENT".

They must make sure that the whole 2 tonnes of coke are intact. Rumours that some of the coke gone missing must also be verified .
Why do you invite someone whom you said should go to hell. My guess is that they might involve some flour to fool the media.
