Law enforcement officers forcibly ejected Gambian Auditor General Momodou Ceesay from his workplace after he declined President Adama Barrow's cabinet reshuffle proposal. Barrow had offered Ceesay the position of trade minister, which the auditor rejected despite the president's claims of initial acceptance. Plain-clothes police entered the audit office to arrest Ceesay and install his replacement, Director of Internal Audit Cherno Amadou Sowe. Staff members confronted the officers and delayed the removal until additional forces arrived during a live-streamed press conference. Young protesters responded by demanding Ceesay's reinstatement and threatening demonstrations near Banjul.

Recent corruption allegations have sparked multiple protests against Barrow's administration following newspaper investigations into asset distribution from former President Yahya Jammeh's regime. The government defended the appointment as merit-based while maintaining commitment to transparency and accountability. Sowe has not yet assumed his new role amid public opposition to the controversial transition.
