Police have apprehended Ebou Drammeh, a 61-year-old man, in connection with a shooting incident at Serekunda Hanover, which led to the recovery of a single-barrel gun and its license from the suspect’s house.

“Further inquiries revealed that his nephew, Muhammadou Kebbeh, had concealed the firearm. Investigators later recovered the firearm along with 14 live rounds and one empty shell casing at the scene.

Drammeh admitted to shooting Omar Badjie, also known as “Utaka,” in the thigh after an ongoing dispute.

He alleged that Badjie frequently provoked him by spraying insecticide near his window while he was resting, which he claimed was harmful to his health.

Police said Drammeh stated that he had no option but to fire his single-barrel gun (Kartuss) in response.

Badjie is currently receiving treatment at Ndemban Hospital, while Drammeh has been cautioned and detained. 

Meanwhile, Muhammadou Kebbeh has been arrested and detained for concealing evidence after removing the firearm and remaining ammunition from the scene.”
