| Gambia's president Yahya Jammeh ordered for the execution of 9 death row inmates in August 2012/PHOTO/AFP2011 |
The Imam of the colonel Moumar Gaddafi Mosque in
Kotu, Momodou Lamin Drammeh is of the view that “an eye for an eye justice” (kill and be
killed) is the only remedy to an increasing murder rate in The Gambia.
The Imam, who was speaking to this reporter at his
residence at Kotu on October 17, claimed that the August 2012 execution of
death row inmates by the government is not only in line with the nation's
constitution but in line with Islamic law (Shari’ah) as well.
