The Gambia Police Force remains committed to upholding professionalism and ethical standards among all officers. As a serving member of the Force, ASP Binta Njie is subject to the same internal regulations and guidelines governing conduct.

Officers are expected to maintain the integrity and impartiality of the Police and must refrain from actions that could compromise the institution’s reputation. While ASP Binta Njie has not been arrested or subjected to interrogation, the Police will handle the matter administratively in accordance with established disciplinary procedures.

The background of the story ………….

Binta Njie, the former Public Relations Officer of The Gambia Police Force and one of its most recognizable figures, has been summoned by the institution for questioning over a Facebook post. Sources close to Kerr Fatou confirmed that her summons was linked to a viral post she made in response to disparaging remarks by Baboucarr Bahoum against Kiang and its people.

Njie, a native of Kiang, clarified in her post that she was speaking in her personal capacity as a concerned daughter of the region, not as a representative of the police force. However, her public remarks did not sit well with the police leadership. According to sources, a senior officer from the top ranks personally contacted Njie, urging her to delete the post. She reportedly refused, asserting that her comments reflected her personal views and were made in defense of her community’s dignity.

Following her refusal to comply with the top-ranking officer’s directive to delete her post, she was summoned for further questioning.

Meanwhile, Baboucarr Bahoum, known for building a career by insulting opposition political figures and anyone he perceived as an opponent of the President, as well as being the author of the disparaging remarks against Kiang and its people—remarks that prompted Njie Jatta’s response—was summoned for police questioning and subsequently released without facing any charges.
