Warning: Ploy Against Freedom Newspaper Correspondent
This is a warning that the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) is planning to track-down your national correspondent Landing Badjie at the upcoming trial of Fatou Jaw Manneh, which is slated for April 11 at the Kanifing Magistrates Court. The orders came from President Jammeh for the Agencys personnel to trace him. I want him stopped. These are Jammehs words. This could even mean tracing him to a lonely place and finish him. For Jammeh to say, get rid off always means death. Secretary of State Neneh Macdouall-Gaye and Saja Taal together with some of our men have infiltrated the media fraternity just to know who Badjie is. President Jammeh has put forward an undisclosed handsome reward for anybody who knows Landing Badjie. They know it is a pen name but they are doing everything possible to track him down at the time, which our men described as best chance. Even if he is a reporter representing a local newspaper at the trial, he should try by all means to avoid suspicion. If he is not representing any local newspaper, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, LET HIM STAY AWAY. AND ALSO ALL THOSE REPORTERS WHO ARE NOT ASSIGN TO COVER THE TRIAL SHOULD STAY AWAY.

Editors note:Thanks Serg, for passing such a vital information to our attention. We are aware of the ongoing moves to arrest and possibly take the life of our Chief National Correspondent Landing Badjie by the Jammeh government. Landing is extra vigilant and had vowed to serve his countrymen and women come what may. To Landing, reporting for a leading online paper like the Freedom Newspaper is not a crime and had always been honest with his reportage of Gambia's local politics. Landing is one of those Gambians who loved this country and President Jammeh should give up his vicious plans against a poor reporter, whose only perceived crime is exposing the atrocities and corruption perpetrated by this administration.
SoS Neneh Macdowl Gaye and Saja Taal should stop the lies. Landing is more patriotic than them, who are hell bent on undermining the Freedom Newspaper projects. Landing's news reports helped Gambians to know what is happening in their country. He would be in court to report the truth and nothing but the truth. Jammeh cannot killed and jailed all of us. There are people who are ready to die for this country come what may. The hacking of the Freedom Newspaper gave us more determination to do our work. They may end up arresting the wrong person.
Landing is the man, as the Americans call it. We respect him for his courage to work with us. Thanks Serg, once again for exposing these criminals.
