Following the power tussle that has gripped the Gambia, five opposition sympathisers who were detained in The Gambia for selling or wearing T-shirts seen to be opposed to President Yahya Jammeh have been released.
One of those briefly detained said armed men had entered a shop selling merchandise featuring images of the President-elect, Adama Barrow, who defeated President Jammeh in elections last year.
Caps, badges and T-shirts which had the slogan #GambiaHasDecided were seized.
Ceoafrica gathered that the five were taken to the National Intelligence Agency headquarters where they were cautioned before being released.
Mr Jammeh, who first seized power in a coup in 1994, has refused to accept defeat and has launched court action to annul the result, despite pressure from the regional leaders to step down.
Barrow has vowed to inaugurate himself as Gambia’s president on the 19th of January when President Jammeh term ends, which has led to Electoral commission chairman, Alieu Momar Njai, disappearance from the Country due to threats on his life.
