Yahya Jammeh to fly out his 13 luxury cars
A spokesman for new president Adama Barrow said on Tuesday, January 24 that an agreement had been struck to facilitate Jammeh's exit.
The spokesman, Hallifah Sallah said: "What is very clear is that arrangements were made and the government was fully prepared and supportive of ex-president Jammeh to leave and as a result they found it is better to leave with all his properties instead of coming down and checking properties."
According to an airport source, who saw the cargo being prepared on Saturday, January 22 night "two Rolls Royce and one (Mercedes) Benz" were loaded onto a Chadian cargo plane, while others were yet to be shipped.
