In another development, LamToro News also learnt that the former Brigadier Bora Colley has been escorted to Ndemban Clinic in Bakau for medical check -up . However, a source said the decision to give him a medical check-up is in respect of his basic human right but he is not admitted.
When contacted to shed light on this issue, the Director of Press and Public Relations, Colonel Lamin K. Sanyang, confirmed that he was granted access to medical check-up. He said General Bora Colley is still detention under the Military Police and investigations into his case will continue.
Asked whether or not he is charged, the GAF spokesperson said Colley’s fate will be determined by the outcome of the investigation. He also confirmed that there will be a Board of Investigation.
