Meanwhile, the Gambia’s government says it has thwarted an attempt to stage a coup.
Four soldiers had been arrested and three alleged accomplices were on the run, a statement said.
It is unclear who exactly was behind Tuesday’s attempt to overthrow President Adama Barrow, who won a second term in elections last year.
Gambia is a largely stable country in West Africa which is popular with holidaymakers because of its beaches and wildlife. END
