A military vehicle hit Sainabou Gaye on Tuesday in Busumbala. She later died from her injuries. The army released a statement yesterday about the accident. Military Police started looking into what happened. The supply commander visited Brikama Health Centre, where Gaye received treatment before she died.
The army expressed sadness to her family but kept quiet about which soldiers drove the vehicle. Human rights groups want more answers about the crash. They asked police to join the investigation. The Edward Francis Small Centre for Rights believes police should handle any case where a citizen dies.
The centre noted that the crash happened outside military grounds, which makes it a police matter even though soldiers were involved. The rights group accepted that the army might investigate, but warned that they must remain fair. They urged the military to share their findings with everyone when they were finished.
