Gabu is the seat of both its namesake sector, and of its namesake
region. I could not find any data about its current flag use.

Gabu was officially known as Nova Lamego until 1975 (cf.
Lamego) and was granted a Portuguese-style
municipal coat of arms and flag in the 1960s. These can be seen, scanned
from [lgh66], at
HotW
and in the
Wikimedia
Commons. In the later location, uploader Emerson states that this flag
«may be still in use». Based on what I know of Portuguese former
colonies’ municipal flags, I’d say that is highly unlikely.

The flag was quartered (town status) white and black with the coat of
arms on the center. This was Gules a sword Argent hilted Or upright
between two machetes samewise and on a bordure Argent four crescents Gules
