Police have shutdown the Brikama Jokor Night Club following the stabbing to death of a 30-year-old man.

The victim Yusupha Darboe was stabbed and killed following a altercation with a 16-year-old boy who is now in police custody.

“The GPF has engaged the management of Jokor Night Club for a temporary closure of activities while stringent safety measures are put in place to avoid reoccurrence of such incidents.

“In addition, we wish to send a strong message to the youth folks to direct youthful energy into productive ventures and desist from the one on one violence directed at each other,” police spokesman Lamin Njie said.

“Perpetrators of such heinous crimes will face the full force of the law,” he added.
