Imam Fatty fired from the State House Mosque, following his call for the banning of the Ahmadiyya in the Gambia
Imam Abdoulie Fatty has confirmed his dismissal as the Imam of the StateHouse, the Freedom Newspaper can reveal. The longest serving Jammeh Imam, has told the Freedom Newspaper in an exclusive interview on Tuesday that he received his dismissal letter today (Tuesday). " Yes I have been sacked as the Imam of the State House mosque. I was let go today. I accepted my removal in good faith. Things happen and I accepted God's divine decision. I have done my part in leading the State Mosque. What God ordains; no one can stop it. I am ready to move on with my life," Imam Fatty said.
" I want to thank President Yahya Jammeh for availing me with the opportunity to lead his mosque all these years. Jammeh is a devoted Muslim and we should pray for him. He is a good man, who has the country's interest at heart. I shall continue to support President Jammeh and his government. I have no problem with the President. We are still good friends. My removal was meant to happen. Let no one misconstrue my removal," Imam Fatty added.
Imam Fatty's removal followed an interview he had with the Standard Newspaper, in which Fatty "has characterized the members of Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at in The Gambia as non-Muslims, asserting that they should be banned from propagating their faith in the territorial confines of the country."
