Numerous internet users in The Gambia are currently experiencing serious problems with internet connection for the past three hours.
Several internet cafes in the Kanifing municipality are closed whilst others continue to struggle with the problem. A cafe owner told this medium that the problem is a general one and has to do something with Gamtel.Seen as a sheer indictment of the country's main telecommunications company, which has been privatised ostensibly to inject new lease of life in it, the problem with internet connection for the good part of the day is wreaking untold hardships and economic loss to users and cafe owners.

EX IGP JAMMEH HEADS THE NIA!!

By OC Cox, Police Head Quarters Banjul

Dear Editor,

The Banjul ruler has done it again, this time appointing Ben Jammeh as the new Director General of the National Intelligence Agency, a man he unceremoniously removed as the Inspector General of Police less than one week ago, redeployed him at the Judicary as a senior Magistrate.
Who can explaine this? Jammeh was not happy with Ben's performance at the Police, will he now be happy having him at the NIA.There is no doubt  that Jammeh is dividing the securities forces at his best interest and thus creating a situation where all chiefs will be at logger heads.

The Minister believes that the best way to keep his job was to threaten Reporter Ebrima Manneh. He went as far as threatening to take his life. Point Newspaper insiders  have confirmed  to this medium that Manneh had a tape containing the voice of the disgraced Minister.
