Gambian warlord’s violent ‘torture’ enforcer found living freely in Scotland

A Gambian warlord’s enforcer accused of a catalogue of torture is living freely in Scotland.

Human rights groups and ­politicians have demanded urgent action after the Sunday Mail traced former intelligence agency operative Alagie Morr to a flat in Glasgow.




Also known as Edrissa Jobe, he was a senior figure in the ­government of brutal Gambian president Yahya Jammeh, whose 22-year reign was characterised by extreme violence, arbitrary arrests, political ­disappearances and murder.

Government investigations have linked Morr to the beatings, sexual assaults and electrocution of detainees under his control.

Calls are now being made to make him face justice which could involve a return to Gambia, now a democratic republic.

But speaking at his flat in the east end of Glasgow, Morr said: “It’s not safe for me to go home. I will be killed or I will kill somebody.”

Morr has been living in Scotland for several years in the Barlanark area of Glasgow while an asylum application is considered.
