Edward was said to have sustained injuries and left with a swollen hand during the scuffle with his attackers.
According to our sources, Jammeh was mad with Edu for reasons best known to him. But the insider believes Edu was acting in town as an ‘untouchable’ which made Jammeh furious with him and decided to teach him a bitter lesson by sending his thugs to assault him.
