Captain Mamat Jobe of the Gambia Armed Forces (GAF), on Tuesday explained to the high court how he divulged information regarding the December 2022 alleged foiled coup, to his superiors.

The accused persons are Sanna Fadera, Gibril Darboe, Ebrima Sannoh, Omar Njie, and Fabakary Jawara. The charges are two counts of treason, two counts of concealment of treason and incitement to mutiny.

"He told me, Oga, my purpose of coming here is to salvage the country," Jobe said, adding,"I told him what do you mean and he told me he wants to overthrow the Government." "As I was reading through the operational plan, I was trembling, and I told him you cannot do this. It is a serious offence," Jobe said.

Jobe testified that he reported the matter to his superior, one Major Lamin Njie alias Angola. He said he did so because it was his obligation to report any threat to national security to a judge or a superior as provided in the GAF Act. He said Sergeant Comma said Sanna Fadera wanted to shatter his track record in the army and he would not allow anyone to destroy his work in the army. He added that after the conversation with both Sanna Fadera and Sergeant Comma he reported to Major Lamin Njie about their chat.
