According to The Soldier, Saul Badjie is now head of the Government security apparatus.
Clearly, the Jammeh regime is entering into its final phase. The contestants to replace him are clearly identified by The Soldier. The question is who will emerge as the new ruler of Gambia? Will it be Saul Badjie or one of the others?
There is a strong possibility of a falling out of these individuals and a power struggle. The “gang of four” toppled the Jawara regime, but out of Yaya, Edward Singateh, Sanna Sabally, and Hydara, Yaya emerged as the eventual president. He did so by treachery, scheming and manoeuvrings.

Hi Pa,
It is me the undercover officer once again. Pa, all the so called big people and so called loyalists to Jammeh are now in problem. Jammeh is not a good partner. He can even jail his own mother just for power. Pa, you remember when Njogu Bah said the Jammeh should live for 900 years? Lol! Where is he now?
Pa, right now the NIAS are very busy making false evidence against the former Director of Press Fatou Camara. Some fake call printouts are to be prepared by Africell very soon… may be by Monday in connection to Fatou’s Africell line.
Pa, if Fatou Camara is not sentenced then she is the luckiest person on earth. All the false evidence is being coordinated by one Kissima Bojang. Jammeh has really disgraced Fatou Camara.
The information the Freedom Newspaper has published is top state secrets, which are only to be known by closest folks to Jammeh.
