- His luxury cars and other items loaded on to a Chadian cargo plane were said to have been flown out of Gambia as he left the country
Three days after the ousted Gambian President, Yahya Jammeh, stepped down and fled the country, his successor, President Adama Barrow has alleged that Jammeh took more than $11m (£8.8m) out of the state coffers.
BBC reports that luxury cars and other items were reportedly loaded on to a Chadian cargo plane as Jammeh left the country.

The BBC's Umaru Fofana has tweeted that the cars were indeed taken out of the country with plans to take out more.
More than $11 million (£8.8m; €10.3m) is reportedly missing from The Gambia's state coffers following the departure of long-time leader Yahya Jammeh, who clung to power for nearly two months despite losing the presidential election in December.
Jammeh left the seat he occupied for 22 years after his defeat by Adama Barrow and after a meeting with some heads of government within a tense period that saw many residents fleeing the country.
The Gambia's ex-ruler, Yahya Jammeh, allegedly plundered the state coffers in his final weeks in power, stealing millions of dollars and shipping out luxury vehicles by cargo plane, according to an aide to new president Adama Barrow.
He had refused to concede defeat in a December 1 election but eventually relinquished power after a delegation of West African leaders convinced him to step down, even as troops from neighbouring countries entered The Gambia.
