Death of Omar Badjie: Mandinaring Youths calls for swift implementation of coroner’s report

Mandinary youths give government seven-day ultimatum over Omar Badjie death

The government has been given a seven-day ultimatum by youth representatives in Mandinary, who are demanding action and accountability following the coroner’s inquest into the death of Omar Badjie.

The youths, speaking through Ebrima John, said authorities have remained silent since the release of the report, a situation they described as “deeply concerning.”

“Since the release of that report, neither the Government of The Gambia nor the Gambia Police Force has made any official statement,” he said.

They are calling for a formal apology from the police leadership, arguing that an earlier account of the incident issued by the force was false.
