[6] The Gambia Echo newspaper reported on January 13, 2007, that Manneh was in the Fatoto police station in December 2006.

Meanwhile, human rights organizations, including Reporters Without Borders, had drafted a petition to Gambian President Jammeh to secure Manneh's release.

When a journalist was investigating in April 2007, Manneh was no longer in Fatoto; it is said that he was relocated to an unknown destination in February.

In November that same year, the government of Gambia showed they were ready to compensate Manneh's family for the violation of rights by Yahya Jammeh's administration.

The payment was to comply with the rulings of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Court of Justice.

[10] In March 2019, The Point newspaper reported that Manneh died in mid-2008, while being transported from a police station to Diabugu Batapa hospital.
