On December 11, Gambian President Yahya Jammeh announced the country would be an Islamic republic.
Less than a month after declaring Gambia an Islamic republic its government has issued a decree ordering female civil servants to cover their hair while at work.

No reasons were given for the introduction of the new rule, which was announced in a memo that was leaked to local opposition newspapers. The memo, published by Freedom, stated 'all female staff' within government departments were no longer allowed to expose their hair during working hours, effective from December 31.

It went on to urge female staff 'to use a head tie and neatly wrap their hair'. 'All heads of departments and agencies are urgently advised to implement this directive and bring it to the attention of their female staff,' the memo concluded. This announcement obviously changes nothing about Gambia's laws or its constitutional status as a secular state.

This is Satanic and barbaric, this is a direct infringement on the freedom of worship and it is condemnable. It is a gradual way of Islamising Gambia.

Toothless barking Dog. You have
ended up being exposed and
saying nothing tangible to defend
the Adeleke's claim. They have
evidence. Abi medical report go lie
again? Na the car wey dem no give your cousin abi na niece dey
pepper you. Let me ask you Dele -
what are you doing to make your
cousin/Niece a better person?
Send her back to school or get her
a job lets see if her sec sch papers will get her a job that will
pay her 300k per month. You
should even be upset and ashame
that your cousin abi na niece did
child abuse rather than pride
yourself in this shameful act. You people should stop wasting my MB
jare Dele my question is this, the
medical report released by Davido
about cannabis in Imade's system,
is it real or fake? If it's real, then
you have no case. But if it's not
true, then u can pursue the case. Meanwhile, am tired of reading this
Davido's baby mama drama. When
the going was good, no one invited
me, now Dem do carry their matter
come public domain. Am outta
here
