Few weeks after reports of a mysterious fire at Arab Gambia Islamic Bank (AGIB), the management of the bank has been beset with yet another incident, this time resulting in damage to materials.

In a press release issued to this paper, the management of AGIB underlined its wish to inform “its valuable customers that a fire incident happened at its branch located at Westfield Junction,” bemoaning that it had “resulted to damages of equipment and furniture.”

The management however reassures the general public that the situation is under control as “…work is in progress to ensure that normal operations continue today, 26 February 2008.

“Meanwhile, customers are requested to visit either Banjul or Senegambia branches for their usual transactions,” the release stressed, concluding that they “sincerely regret and apologize for any inconvenience it might cause.”
