Information Minister jumps ship, releasing statement soon


The Gambia’s information Minister, Sheriff Bojang, is not within the territorial confines of The Gambia, corroborating wide-spread online media reports.


Contacted by this medium to shed light on reports of the alleged flight to Dakar, Jammeh’s former image- maker revealed: "Definitely I am in Dakar. I will be putting out a statement soon .It is indeed true".
Several online media outfits reported the alleged flight of Sheriff Bojang to neighboring Senegal over the weekend, as the noose tightens on the neck of Gambia’s long-serving tyrant, Yahya Jammeh.

Sheriff Bojang used to be the proprietor of the independent newspaper, The Standard, prior to his appointment as Information Minister following a botched coup launched in the dying days of 2014.He has served in the post from 2015 to date despite calls on him to switch loyalty following vitriolic verbal attack by president Jammeh on the majority Mandingo tribe, as well as a refusal to accept December election results which he initially conceded.
