Reports reaching the Freedom Newspaper have revealed that Asombi Bojang, the mother of Gambian president, Yahya Jammeh, is currently being hospitalised at the Intensive Care unit of the Royal Victoria Teaching Hospital (RVTH). Reports suggest that the president's mother has been at the hospital since Tuesday on a very threatening sickness.
JAMMEH'S MOTHER HOSPITALISED-ARMED MEN AT THE RVTH
According to sources close her, the ailment arose following the abortive March 21 coup. She is said to have developed fear in her when her son, the president, started treating Gambians badly and "upon realisation of the possible consequences to her son, she began to advice him not to do any of the bad things he is doing, liking killings, threats, witch-hunt, etc. She must have sensed her son's downfall." The Freedom Newspaper has learnt that following that advice, the president refused to take heed and even warned his mother to put her mouth out of STATE MATTERS. He was reported to have said that he would not allow his mother to interfere in what he is doing.
Following the intense frustration, Asombi Bojang reportedly collapsed on Tuesday morning and is still at the RVTH under intensive care. We have learnt that plans are underway to fly her abroad for urgent treatment. Currently, the hospital is being guarded by heavily armed soldiers especially at nights and President Jammeh visits their at odd ours unexpectedly.
It would be recalled that President Jammeh’s mum was moved from her Bakau residence recently to a Kotu house, where she was staying up to the time of her sudden illness. Madam Bojang was moved amidst reports that she was exposed to death threats by unknown individuals.
The Freedom Newspaper gathered that Asombi Bojang is suffering from heart attack. Hospital sources say the health conditions of Madam Bojang is worsening day by the day and her son Jammeh was increasingly worried about the situation. She is said to be admitted at the Intensive care unit.
Madam Bojang is said to be angered by the mistreatment exposed to President Jammeh’s unlce Abdoulie Kujabi, who sources say had been handicapped by his torturers. Hospital sources say signs of torture could be seen visible on Kujabi’s face and other parts of his body. Kujabi according to sources was seen at the RVTH physiotherapy Department, where patients are exposed to physical therapy.
In another development, hospital sources said Jammeh, shed tears when he last visited his mum. The President said our sources, could be heard seeking forgiveness from his mum, whom he humiliated in recent times.
Despite calls by his mum for Jammeh to humble himself and stop his oppressive ruling nature,sources said Jammeh never heeded and even vowed at some point that he was going send the old woman to Foni to see rural life first hand. Jammeh off late said sources, had not been listening his mum who had been pointing to him about the lapses in his administration. Madam Jammeh according to sources is not the least happy about his son and is bid apprehensive about the future of Jammeh’s rule.
Up to the time of going to press, Asombi Bojang was admitted at the RVTH.
