GAMBIA: A son
of Gambia's President-elect, Adama Barrow, has died after being bitten by a
dog.
Eight-year-old Habibou Barrow was reported to
have died on the way to the hospital on Sunday in Manjai near the Gambian
capital Banjul.
Mr. Barrow missed his son's funeral as he was
advised to remain in neighbouring Senegal for his own safety.
Mr. Barrow won the presidential election last
year but outgoing President Yahya Jammeh has refused to accept the result after
initially conceding defeat and congratulating Mr. Barrow.
President Muhammadu Buhari is leading other
West African leaders to convince Mr. Jammeh to leave office as scheduled on
January 19.
