Serekunda's head chief sent a letter to The Standard about the Gaddafi Mosque land crisis. He says everyone plans to fix the problem by talking it out with all parties involved. This news comes after earlier reports from The Standard about angry community members. They had earlier threatened court action against the Sheriff Division and a company called Supersonicz Financial Limited.
The fight centers on mosque property that changed hands in 2019. Sheriff officers sold the land after Supersonicz won a D1.6 million lawsuit against their former worker, Demba Marena. Serekunda elders under Alieu Momar Njai's leadership say big mistakes happened during this process. They claim the community rightfully owns that land, not Mr. Marena, as the court believed.
The mosque committee secretary, Buba Senghore, had previously told reporters that local leaders met about the problem. After their meeting, they talked with an attorney about fighting this case through the courts. But the latest statement shows a change in plans. The village head, Baboucarr Mass Jobe, wants to clear up any confusion about their next steps.
Jobe explained they haven't actually started any official lawsuit against the government or Supersonicz. Instead, they wrote directly to the Chief Justice with their concerns. The Chief Justice has already answered their letter. Jobe feels hopeful they can settle everything through proper channels. He believes talking things out will bring better results than rushing to court battles.
