On May 9th, 2016, Bintu was arrested and detained for five days, after attending a rally to demand the release of illegally detained protesters from previous rallies held on April 15th and 16th, 2016. During her detention, Bintu said that she was beaten, tortured, and raped by two masked Security Officers at the Gambia Police Intervention Unit (PIU) HQ. When asked if she would prefer that we keep her identity anonymous, her adamant reply was 'No, this was done to me, and I want justice... these men should be punished.'
