Contrary to rumours ciruculating the media that the President-elect of Gambia, Adama Barrow has being assassinated, latest news confimed he’s alive hale and hearty.
The news had earlier broken out that Adama Barrow was killed by unknown assailiants after overpowering the security guards at his residence leaving two dead.
However, there has not been any proof that such occurred.
Mr. Barrow has remained in Gambia to ensure he is sworn in as president on January 19 after he defeated outgoing leader, Yahya Jammeh, in the December 1 election.
Mr. Jammeh, who initially conceded to his opponent, later recanted and has since vowed to stay on in office.
President Muhammadu Buhari is currently leading a West African, ECOWAS, mediation asking Mr. Jammeh to step down.
The Nigerian government on Wednesday said it still hoped to resolve the Gambian conflict peacefully after Mr. Jammeh accused ECOWAS of declaring war on Gambia by insisting that all options including military deployment were on the table to make Mr. Jammeh leave power.
