The Gambia's border guards sent 350 people back to their countries last year. These people came to The Gambia without permission.
Mr. Sulayman Kujabi leads the team that watches the borders. He said his boss, Mr. Ebrima Mboob, made new plans to keep the country safe. The guards checked everyone's papers very carefully. They stopped 1,627 people from coming in because they didn't have the right papers. They caught 677 people trying to sneak across the borders. Half of these people came from other countries.
The border guards found 58 bad people who helped others cross the border illegally. Eight of these bad people went to jail. The guards also wrote down the names of 16,473 people from other countries who live in The Gambia. They did this because the law says they must keep track of visitors.
Mr. Karanlang Jarju counts the money for the border guards. He said they made more money in 2024 than ever before! They collected 420 million dalasis. This money came from many things like passports, special cards, and papers that let people live and work in The Gambia. Last year, they only made 317 million dalasis.
The border guards worked very hard in different parts of The Gambia. They made sure everyone followed the rules about living and working in the country. People paid 95 million dalasis for special papers that let them stay and work in The Gambia.
