In response to the arrest, Deputy Commissioner General Essa Jallow told reporters that December is the most popular month for drinking alcohol in the country due to the Christmas and New Year’s celebrations and the influx of tourists.

Mr. Jallow remarked: “As of late, we have seen an expansion in the degree of pirating exercises including cocktails because of the popularity for these items during the Christmas and New Year merriments. The tourist season’s peak also contributes to the high demand. The smugglers are taking advantage of this opportunity to engage in the illegal importation of alcoholic beverages in order to expand their opportunities for earning money.
