The Gambian Armed Forces have sacked four soldiers after they were found guilty of a plot to assassinate the Chief of Defence staff Masanneh Kinteh, reports have confirmed on Wednesday.
The Point newspaper reported on Tuesday Lance Corporals Lamin Sanneh, Ousman Jammeh, Ebrima Colley and Lamin Touray were dismissed on Monday.
The spokesman of the army Major Lamin Sanyang confirmed the dismissals, according to the newspaper.
The soldiers were arrested in June this year over allegations they were hatching a plot against General Kinteh.
The army has however been tight-lipped on the issue.
