Editor,

It is hard to lose a real friend. Foday Jaiteh was a Great Friend. It went to a point that he was like a blood brother to me. He was a very friendly and generous brother as well. He was a Gentleman of Honour and Respect, very dedicated to Islam as well.

I was shocked to hear about his demise in the Libyan boat disaster, as he went in search of a better life in Europe. Actually I was just speechless on hearing the news.  All I had to do was pray for him and the rest of the brothers involved in that accident. I will like to extend My Condolences to the family and all the friends both in The Gambia and in the US.

I realise that it is hard to take it when anyone of us loses a loved one, but all that  the departed souls need are our prayers at this very moment.

Insallah, may God grant him heaven.
Inna lilahi wA ina elahi raj unn. Wasalam.
