Fajara Barracks Diary: How fugitive Major Kalipha Bajinka was assigned to kill Hamat Bah?
State House army
officer reveals how Bajinka and some state guards burn the Independent
Newspaper-Jammeh's negative reactions to fail operations and a lot
more......
President Yahya Jammeh once invited Major Kalipha Banjinka at his
Kanilai retreat to execute certain missions for him. One, was the burning down of the Independent Newspaper and the killing
of certain political leaders in the country. Fugitive Bajinka at the
time was the head of the notorious and brutal state guards. Bajinka was
more keen at burning the Independent Newspaper at the time. A state
House army officer alleged that Bajinka gave orders to the state
guards to "kill and burn the properties of the Independent printing
press beyond recognition." The officer said the soldiers who took part
on the operation were nearly put on firing squad, as the operation was
described as a failure by Bajinka and Jammeh. That a state guard
soldier who sustained burns left his short gun pistol at the scene of
the crime. The said pistol was later in the hands of the police.
Both
Jammeh and Bajinka wanted the local security guard on duty dead and
all properties raised to the ground. While the operation was on,
Bajinka was at a near by street coordinating the fire bomb of the
Independent. The state guard soldier who sustained burns was first
taken to the army clinic at the Marina parade in Banjul. At first they
decided to take him to the RVTH, but for security reasons, Banjinka
advised that the soldier be confined to the army clinic. The soldier
medic who was assigned to the said injured state guard was heard saying
that the soldier conditions was so bad that it needs the attention of a
qualified doctor. But Bajinka insisted that they received orders from
Jammeh that they should not allow the soldier to be refereed to the
RVTH, as the soldiers acted unprofessionally by allowing marks of
traces at the scene of the crime. The same group who fire bomb the
Independent were assigned to kill certain opposition leaders. Following
revelations made by Hamat Bah that the state guards burnt the
Independent, Bajinka was again assigned to kill Hamat Bah. Hamat Bah
was placed under secret surveillance by the state guards for about one
month. They were assigned by Jammeh to take Bah's life since he Bah had
the audacity to expose his hit men in the open. Little, did Hamat Bah
know that he was being pursued by killers at the time and up till now.
Bah should watch his back. President Jammeh personally said he want to
see Hamat Bah dead. If Major Bajinka is reading at this hour, he will
recalled the meeting that was held at Kanilai where Jammeh asked him to
accomplish the mission since the Independent was still operating at the
time. For Jammeh he believes that Hamat Bah jumped his parliamentary
immunity by making such revelations.
Bajinka was the one behind the sacking of former Inspector General
of police Landing 13 Badjie. Bajinka was upset by Badjie's move to
examine the state guards who were named by Hamat Bah as the
perpetrators of the Independent arson attack. Bajinka believes that
Badjie was bent on exposing the state guards at the time. He even told
the President that Badjie was being used by the opposition to bring his
government down. That examining the named state guards tantamount to
undermining state security as Gambians in his own words "will hate the
system." who were supposed to protect them. Bajinka personally called
13 Badjie while investigations on the Independent arson attack was
going on. He told 13 Badjie that they prefer to die than to comply
with his proposed examination of the state guards. He even threatened
the IGP with sack, as he told him that he was pursing a case that could
cost him his life. Badjie who once interrogated Jammeh following a gold
dust case involving Siaka Sonko, Ousman Barry and others during the
PPP regime was later summoned at Kainilai by Jammeh. Jammeh told him
that he was acting beyond his boundaries in Jolla and vowed to deal
with him. The next day 13 was fired and detained. Bajinka's men
arrested him. They accused Badjie of receiving bribes from an Indian
businessman who was linked to selling expired goods to Gambians.
Certain
army officers assigned at the state house were later placed on
surveillance following Hamat Bah's revelations. It was Jammeh's
contention that one of the army officers must have leaked the
information to Hamat Bah. One of the army officers told me that Jammeh
usually retaliates negatively when assassin operations fail. The said
officer went as far as naming Musa Jammeh, Kawsu Camara AKA
(Bombadareh), Alhagie Martin AKA (Lagos),Kalipha Bajinka and some other
non Gambians from Casamance as his favorite hit men. The army officer
said the state usually sponsored some of the crimes taking placing in
the country. The officer said the soldiers who burnt the Independent
were called the "JUNGLERS." These soldiers were answerable to Banjinka
and Jammeh. Major Bajinka is today trying tell the world that his hands
are clean when it is not. Musa Jammeh was sacked following his failed mission to kill lawyer Ousaman Sillah. Now that he is rehired he is given a new assignment by Jammeh. We will elborate on the said assignment later on. When I come back online, I explain how
Bajinka trained the junglers on domestic terrorism activities. Stay tuned.
