ARMY MUTINY IN THE GAMBIA; ARMED SOLDIERS HAVE TAKEN OVER THE STATE HOUSE!!! There is an army mutiny taking place in The Gambia at this hour. The State House in Banjul has been attacked by armed men. Some soldiers loyal to dictator Yahya Jammeh have started defecting. There is a complete chaos. Pockets of Jammeh loyalists resisted the invasion, but it seems that the attackers have gained the upper hand. Traffic to the capital city Banjul have been brought to complete halt. Denton bridge and other key security installations are in the hands of the mutineers. The ports, airport, Denton Bridge, Mile Two prison and other barracks are in the hands of the mutineers. Five Jammeh loyalists have been killed during the mutiny and dozen others injured. The leader of the coup one Lamin Sanneh have been killed. In the meantime, dictator Yahya Jammeh is in France visiting. The mutineers contacted Freedom radio Gambia by phone by displaying sounds of machine gun. One of the callers, who refused to identify himself said: I am leading the operation, he then hung up the phone. We received four phone calls from Banjul, and all the callers said they were on the ground taking part in the mutiny. The State House has fallen in the hands of the mutineers. A source in Dakar, Senegal, provided the cell number of Lt. Colonel Musa Savage and Sana Jarju, the Chief Protocol Officer traveling with Jammeh to reach them for comment. The source said Savage and General Saul Badjie are the ones trying to mess up the operation. Savage declined to comment. He is said to be heading the soldiers at the State House resisting the invasion. Saul Badjie remarked: Ask your mother and father. Another Gambian activist told this paper that the mutineers were turned in by a mole amongst them. But former Army Lieutenant officer Kajau Touray disagrees. It has been alleged that the mutineers were in touch with some of the soldiers in The Gambia prior to the operation trying to recruit them to join them. But Mr. Kajau Touray said the operation was never leaked until the mutineers arrived in The Gambia. Touray said he knows some of the ring leaders of the coup. He said the coup leaders are seasoned officers with wealth of military experience. Journalist Abdoulie John said he tried to reach Louis Gomez of the NIA for a foreign media he is reporting for, but Gomez cursed his mom. Freedom Radio is covering the mutiny live. Captain Ebou Jallow, Saikou Mballow, Yero Jallow, AKA Dalton, Tuku Jallow, Alhagie Sowe and co are taking part in a panel discussion in regards to the army mutiny currently taking place in The Gambia.
