The Gambian government on Friday charged eight soldiers with treason in connection with an alleged coup attempt last month, a government spokesperson said in a statement.
The government on December 21 said it had thwarted a coup attempt the previous day, and detained some military personnel.
The eight members of The Gambia Armed Forces were also charged with conspiracy to commit felony, the statement said.
All but one of the suspects were remanded in prison, with Warrant Officer Class Two Lamin Jadama still being sought.
