Gambian President Adama Barrow convened an emergency cabinet meeting on 13 May to review the sale of assets seized from former President Yahya Jammeh.
The meeting follows the release of documents by the Ministry of Justice on 9 May, outlining the transfer and sale of confiscated assets. The disclosures highlight the scale of the sales and include detailed inventories of items and financial holdings previously under Jammeh’s control.
The documents list vehicles, tractors, ferrous materials, and other items sold under the directive of the Janneh Commission – a body tasked with recovering misappropriated state assets. Additional records include an inventory of equipment sold to local councils and furniture disposed of by order of the Commission.
Financial disclosures reveal substantial holdings: 14.32% of shares in Gam Petroleum (valued at GMD 551.25 million), shares in Comium Gambia Ltd (GMD 5.75 million), and dividends exceeding GMD 100 million. Real estate assets sold total approximately GMD 202.75 million, including properties in Kerr Serign and Brufut Gardens.
Yahya Jammeh has lived in exile in Equatorial Guinea since stepping down in January 2017 following a political crisis and regional intervention.
