Yahya Jammeh is a previous Gambian president somewhere in the range of 1994 and 2017, though Fatou “Toufah” Jallow is a belle of the ball from the Gambia.
Fatou rose to conspicuousness subsequent to getting a college grant in a public ability contest for young ladies at 18 years old.
Then again, Jammeh started undermining Fatou and her family since he needed Fatou to wed him.
Be that as it may, she got away from the Gambia in 2015, dreading for her security.

Notwithstanding, an administration representative cautioned the BBC that his security could be risked if Jammeh returned without consent.
Jallow was captivated to the president’s private quarters, where she asserts he medicated and assaulted her. Jammeh did everything as a response to her refusal to become one of his spouses.
He did neither affirm nor deny this case, yet his ideological group has discredited everything.
Jammeh lost races in 2017 and escaped the country. The Gambia then, at that point, set up a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to explore allegations of barbarities and deaths submitted during his 22-year rule.
