Barrow Rejects Minister’s Resignation

President Adama Barrow has reportedly turned down the resignation of his Attorney General and Minister of Justice Abubacarr Baa Tambadou. This development comes in the wake of leaked audio tapes relating to the Minister’s senior brother Sheriff Tambadou. In the said audios secretly recorded by Mrs. Ndura Jawara Badjie, the wife of the former NIA Director Yankuba Badjie, Sheriff had implicated his brother. The leaked audios have since caused firestorm in the country and beyond. It had resulted to the withdrawal of Sheriff Tambadou from a team prosecuting the NIA 9 accused of conspiring to murder Ebrima Solo Sandeng. Calls for Baa Tambadou to resign have since intensified. The Minister has not responded to the calls until today when he threw his towel.
