The police in Gambia have arrested a Sierra Leonean national in connection to the murder of a 60-year-old British citizen, Shakina Chinedu who was killed a few days ago.
Chinedu, who had been living in The Gambia since 2017, was mysteriously found dead in a toilet drain of an uncompleted building in Madina Alagie a village near Mamuda in Kombo South.
According to the police, the suspect, aged between 20 and 30 years, was arrested on Saturday, February 17, 2024. The suspect has confessed to killing the woman and material evidence such as a pistol, hammer, spade, money, and keys among others, have been recovered from the suspect.
The suspect admitted to using the hammer to strike Chinedu in the back of the neck and then burying her in a toilet drain.
Following the murder, the suspect stole various items from Chinedu, including money, laptops, a handbag, and keys. The police emphasized that the suspect’s arrest was aided by the recovery of these stolen items.
In a related update, two suspects, a Gambian and another Sierra Leonean, were arrested and charged in connection with a robbery in Fajara that occurred the previous week. The police noted that a significant number of crimes in the country are committed by foreign nationals, highlighting a concerning trend.
According to the police, a substantial number of crimes in the country as per their records are committed by foreign nationals.
“We should not be saying this but most of these crimes are committed by foreign nationals in the country. The idea of such crimes is imported too,” a senior police officer said.
These are the things we always say about our country individuals leaving our sure of this nation to go out side there to look for green light of life for them to put themselves together in future evendent of good citizenship.
As always our president is saying that we the people of this nation are strongly representative of our country repeation when ever we move out of this country. So we need factual truth and honestly speaking our country good value in which we should be an ambassador of our country. So our good inmage need to be honest enough and trusting so that other stuff of people will continue to copy from us all.so please let’s the authority of Gambia deal with those involved according to their laws of their land. So that those involved will know the betterness of the laws of the land.
RIP. I met her two years ago. With other black women from USA and UK. It s a choc.. We have to grasp something: our skin may be dark but we aren’t Africans for many. I was married for 4y before my ex husband showed me his real face. Most get involved with foreign women for cash. Saying that crimes are committed by foreign nationals is not relevant, it happened in Gambia! I know Gambians who don’t hesitate to mistreat their foreign misses…
Gambia is rough. And if the police keep being inefficient this type of crime will carry on. I built a farm in Senegal and left yesterday the country. It s the second crime like this in less than a month..
Africa isn’t safe for women. Too much illiteracy and fantasy to acquire what don’t belong to them! We have to tell the truth and warn others about it. I m so I’m choc. RIP dear.
