Serekundas NAM Demands Answers on Mosque Land Sale

Musa Cham asked the law boss Dawda Jallow to investigate who sold part of the Gaddafi Mosque land. This land went up for sale around 2019 when the Sheriff Division followed the High Court's advice about money problems. A company named Supersonicz wanted D1.6 million from their old worker, Demba Marena. The Sheriff's Division thought Mr. Marena had rights to the land, but they were wrong.

The old leaders of Serekunda, with Alieu Momar Njai at the front, say that land belongs to everyone who lives there. They claim the Sheriff Division and Supersonicz made a big mistake, thinking one person could sell it. Many people feel angry about this mix-up and keep talking about it on TV and radio. The community feels upset because no one from the government has said anything clear yet.

Mr. Cham serves as the elected voice for Serekunda in the National Assembly. He sent a letter to Attorney General Jallow asking him to step in fast. He told the law chief how the land sale caused huge fights between neighbors. Cham wants answers about whether selling that land even followed legal rules. He asks for quick action because the problem keeps growing bigger each day it stays unsolved.

The letter from Cham explains how mad people feel about losing mosque land. He warns that bad feelings might spread beyond just Serekunda if nobody fixes this problem soon. Many pray at that mosque and care deeply about what happens to it. Cham shared his letter with the newspaper The Standard to make sure more people knew he asked for help from the top law expert.

The fight centers on whether the Sheriff's Division had any right to sell holy ground to pay someone's debt. Local elders say that the ground never belonged to Marena but to the whole community from way back. People need to know who made wrong choices and how to fix them. Cham hopes the Attorney General will step up, solve the mystery, and bring peace back to the area before things get worse between angry groups of citizens.
