Nanama Keita, a dismissed  Deputy – Editor-in Chief  of the pro-government Banjul-based  Daily Observer newspaper, on July 27, 2011 filed a complaint at the Kairaba Police Station in Banjul about consistent threats to his life by unknown persons.

Media Foundation for West Africa’s (MFWA) sources reported that Keita has been receiving life threatening SMS texts since July 5.  The sources said the latest threats came to him on July 15. In the last threat Keita was allegedly warned to either leave the country, if he values his life, or be taught a lesson that he will never forget.
 
The police have promised investigating the threats.
