Imam Baba Leigh has rejected claims that the Gambia Police Force is failing in its duties, stating that the force has been doing an excellent job in addressing crime and related issues in the country.

Speaking to Coffee Times, the outspoken cleric insisted that crime has drastically reduced in the country over the past few months under the dynamic leadership of Inspector General Seedy Muctarr Touray.

“I want to believe that our police are now among the most efficient forces in the world. Not long ago, our police force was awarded a prestigious accolade in Dubai, thanks to the leadership of Seedy Muctarr Touray,” he said.

According to him, one of the signs validating this claim is that the Gambian Police Force recently received a policing award in Dubai for its excellent services.

He added: “Despite the challenges facing the country, crime has decreased, and drug abuse has also significantly reduced. Therefore, the country should support the police in addressing these issues.”
