Krummah of Sandu Darsilameh village, Upper River Region was arrested in May for protesting against the unlawful arrest and detention of his party executive member Ebrima Solo Sandeng. This is the second dead case that involved the UPD members since April after the state began its crackdown on the UPD party.
According to the deputy party leader and secretary-general Aji Mariama Secka, the circumstances surrounding Krummah’s medical condition leading to his admission and the subsequent actions undertaken by his jailers remain unknown to immediate family and the party members as both were repeatedly denied access to him throughout his stay in state custody.
Sources has it that during his period of admission at the hospital Krummah was denied visits and food from family members, as there were soldiers and prison guards. Neither the family neither the family.
The legal representatives are trying to determine the exact cause of Mr. Krummah’s death as well as make affirmative demands for the state to immediately and unconditionally surrender his body his native.
Until his death, Krummah was the UDP deputy chairman in Sandu Constituency and headed the party in his village.
