The Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, has said that troops from the sub-region have been placed on alert to intervene in The Gambia if President Yahya Jammeh refuses to step down next month.
President Muhammadu Buhari arrived Banjul, the capital of The Gambia on Tuesday morning, as part of an ECOWAS delegation of Heads of States to meet with the Gambian President, Yahya Jammeh, over his rejection of the presidential election which he lost.
