Married father of two allegedly elopes with his landlord’s 20-year-old daughter

Manlafy Danso, a married man with two children, has been accused of running away with his landlord’s 20-year-old daughter in Wellingara Coastal Road, The Gambia.

The girl’s parents reported them missing on Friday, May 3, 2024, and they are currently being searched for.

The father of the young woman expressed his anguish to a reporter, alleging that Danso used spiritual tactics to influence his daughter.

She said:

“This is far from ordinary. He manipulated my daughter through some spiritual means. My daughter had just completed memorizing the Holy Quran, and we were even preparing to commemorate her achievement. We searched everywhere but couldn’t find them. I am sure they are staying in a guest house. He is a criminal who is known to the police,” he said.

Another relative of the landlord’s daughter disclosed: “Manlafy is a dangerous criminal. He abducted the girl.”

The family is asking anyone who knows where they are to get in touch with the closest police station.
