Guinea-Bissau extradited Ansumana Jarju to The Gambia for his alleged involvement in a 2025 armed robbery at an Access Bank branch, following the ECOWAS Police Cooperation Agreement. This extradition highlights regional collaboration in combating transnational crime within West Africa.

President Adama Barrow's recent executive order, which excludes the Gambian judiciary from a 30% salary increase for civil servants, has raised concerns about the government's commitment to a functional and impartial justice system. Critics argue that the order, which also emphasizes centralized control over the judiciary's budget, undermines the judiciary's independence and effectiveness. The order has been criticized for failing to address systemic issues such as court security, inadequate working conditions, and timely disbursement of allocated budgets.
