The Gambia Police Force (GPF) has rejected claims that violent deaths in the country have become “normalised” and occur without follow-up or accountability, describing the assertion as misleading.
In a statement issued on 26 December 2025, the GPF said comments attributed to Modou Lamin B. Bah, the National Assembly Member for Banjul North, and reported by The Fatu Network, do not reflect investigative realities, judicial processes or institutional response mechanisms currently in place.
The police acknowledged that isolated violent incidents have occurred in some communities but stressed that such cases are neither routine nor widespread, nor are they treated with silence.
“Where incidents could not be prevented, the Police have succeeded in detecting almost all of the referenced cases, after which appropriate investigative and judicial procedures were undertaken within the confines of the law,” the statement said.
Citing specific cases, the GPF said the suspect in the killing of Saikou Freeman was arrested, charged and remanded at Mile II Prison pending legal advice.
Investigations into the recent killing of Isatou Fatty remain active, with the Brusubi Criminal Investigation Department pursuing several leads.
