Abdoulie Ceesay, Managing Director of Taranga FM,
who has been in the custody of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) since
July 17, was arraigned at a lower court in Banjul yesterday charged with a
single count of “seditious intention.”
Police
prosecutors alleged that, on or about the July 16, Ceesay distributed pictures
of the Gambian President Yahya Jammeh to two persons, Zainab Koneh and Fatou A.
Drammeh, using his Africell mobile SIM card. The said picture showed a gun
pointing at President Jammeh.
According to
the prosecutors, by distributing the pictures, Ceesay had the intention to
“raise discontent, hatred or disaffection among the inhabitants of The Gambia.”
