    GAMBIA’S Vice-President Badara Alieu Joof has died of illness in India, President Adama Barrow said on Wednesday.

    Joof, 65, was appointed vice-president of the West African country in 2022. He had previously served as education minister.

    Barrow said on Twitter that Joof had died ‘after a short illness’ without providing further detail.

    The vice president left Gambia about three weeks ago to seek medical treatment in India.
