Last week, Gambia's
ex-president, Yahya Jammeh accepted to step down for his successor, President
Adama Barrow, and is now on political exile in Guinea.
It has been revealed that
not only did he make away with millions of dollars, but also luxury items and
cars. Speaking at a press conference in the Senegalese capital Dakar, Barrow's
special adviser Mai Ahmad Fatty, said that a Chadian cargo plane had
transported luxury goods out of the country on Mr Jammeh's behalf in his final
hours in power, including an unknown number of vehicles.
Mr Barrow's adviser said that officials at the Gambia airport have been ordered
not to allow any other belongings of Jammeh to leave, including the remaining
luxury cars waiting at the Airport to be shipped out.
He said officials regret
the situation but the major damage had been done, leaving the new government
with little possibility to recover the funds. See more photos of the reported
luxury cars
