Exiled Gambian ruler Yahya Jammeh stole millions of dollars in his final weeks in power, plundering the state coffers and shipping out luxury vehicles by cargo plane, a special adviser for the new president has claimed.
At a press conference in the Senegalese capital, Barrow’s special adviser Mai Ahmad Fatty told journalists the president “will return home as soon as possible’.
Underscoring the challenges facing the new administration, Fatty alleged that Jammeh made off with more than US$11.4m (£9.18m) during a two-week period.
