Gambiaj.com – (BANJUL, The Gmbia) – The Gambia Police Force has launched an investigation into a case of alleged robbery at the Younna Forex Bureau Office in Kalagi Village, which has now been revealed as a cover-up for financial misconduct.

According to a police statement, initial reports received on April 25, 2025, indicated that Amadou Jawo, a 28-year-old microfinance operator, was found lying inside his office with his mouth tied using plastic.

He was immediately escorted to the Sintet Health Center and later referred to Bwiam General Hospital, where medical examinations confirmed that he had sustained no injuries.
