| Imam Leigh freed at last |
The ‘disappeared’ Gambian Islamic scholar, who had been wildly
speculated dead, has finally appeared, alive and ticking. But, after
all, the astute cleric had neither been on a vigil. In fact, the past five
months that he’d been away, whether he was regularly saying his prayers, is a
question that awaits his confirmation.
Imam Baba Leigh was kept against his will, arbitrarily,
in a secretly-shrouded place where not even his wife could access to him. The
Gambian state authorities, who had all along been telling the public,
unfaithfully, that the imam was not in their custody, are the culprit here.
