Contrary
to reports in social platform and some newspapers in Banjul and Dakar that
former First Lady Zineb Jammeh is in Dakar on a business trip, a police source
in Dakar has debunked the story as false.
The
source, who wishes to remain anonymous, told The Point in a telephone
conversation that Zineb Jammeh last visited Dakar in 2015.
Earlier
reports had claimed that Zineb Jammeh had parted with former President Jammeh
and had taken up the chic residence of Almadies not far from the Yoff Airport
and was exploring investment opportunities in Senegal.
A
Senegalese journalist contacted by this paper said: “I believe this story is
false news.”
Diplomatic
sources also confirmed to The Point newspaper that Zineb is currently in
Equatorial Guinea.
This
paper made several attempts to speak to the Gambia minister of Interior Mai
Ahmad Fatty but he could not be reached for comments.
