Police have taken up another spate of clampdown on those reoccupying cleared roadsides within Greater Banjul Area after a short break. 

The operation is to free roadsides of illegal structures such as kiosks and makeshift shops. 

Leading the clampdown team, the nation’s traffic police chief, commissioner Lamin King Colley, warned that anyone found reoccupying the cleared places will be taken before a court of law for breaking laws of the land.

“This team is to ensure that we enforce the law, and make sure. If they insist, we arraign them to court.

“Now we are not begging whosoever we found at the place we have cleared, we will just charge you and arraign you to court. We are telling Gambians that this operation will be sustainable,” he said.

“Any place we have cleared within the Greater Banjul Area, we are going back to those places and anyone that we found there you will be taken before the law court. This country is governed by rule of law and we must all obey that law,” he added.
