They took my step dad and hid him!
This is crazy, weird and a serious violation of human rights:
My stepdad’s name is Milko Berben, him and my mom Beppie Smits have been living in The Gambia, West Africa since 1997
On Thursday the 18th of January at 2am Milko was picked up by the army commander of the Statehouse and to answer some questions he was brought to the NIA (National Intelligence Agency) He has yet to be accused of something, and he does not know what is going on.
Since 2004 Milko has worked for the Gambian president on his generators, which is arranged with contract and budgets ahead of time. The first contract year everything went great, and they worked with an agent, between Milko and the president. After that first year she no longer wanted to be the agent and suggested to the president to work directly with Milko. It was decided on that they do work with an agent after all. A contract was signed and budget was approved. With the generators there hasn’t been a problem.
There is a lot of work that has to happen to some generators, such as new parts, so since April of 2006 they have sent account statements to the Statehouse. They have not received any responses to them, and additionally late payments started to accumulate. Milko started seeing serious consequences from a necessary repair that he consequently couldn’t make, that HAD to be made on the generators that have been running for over 18000 hours (which is when they need new parts) so he met about it with two employees who work at the Statehouse. 2 days later he was picked up.
He was being treated fairly in the NIA, and Beppie has been able to visit him a few times. She has had to bring all the bookkeeping records connected this work, which she has, and which has been complete. Wednesday Milko met with the boss off the NIA who thought it was strange that they were making a profit on selling the generator parts (?!)
Milko told my mom that one of the questions they asked him was if he had any family members that worked for the UN, apperantly they are scared of the UN. All of this has to do with the president so the people that are asking questions on behalf of Milko and my mom are scared to do so. My mom has been asking questions for a week and she isn’t getting any answers because people aren’t telling her anything. Since yesterday Milko is no longer in the NIA building, but they also don’t know where he is right now. He is also not with the police.
My mom is lost and only has strings of possibly true and possibly untrue information coming her way occasional from unofficial sources, so she doesn’t know what to believe, think or do.
This is ludicrous
