Nigeria 'sends' Warship To The Gambia,Jhammeh

Nigeria’s newest warship, the NNS Unity, is sailing towards The Gambia ahead of possible military intervention over President Yahya
Jammeh's refusal to accept election defeat and step down when his term expires on Thursday. A Nigerian military source tells the BBC that the
patrol vessel is currently sailing off the coast of Ghana after leaving from the commercial caital, Lagos.
The initial aim is to put on a show of force rather than to launch an attack. Senegal is preparing ground troops ahead of Thursday’s deadline. The Gambia’s tiny army is no match for the regional powers. In recent years, President Jammeh has been promoting his loyalists, including army chief Ousman Badjie, to ranks beyond their competence.
This has further downgraded its military capabilities. The regional body, Ecowas, has sad that military
intervention will be a last resort to bring an end to the political deadlock in The Gambia.
Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has been leading mediation efforts to persuade Mr Jammeh to hand power to former estate agent Adama Barrow, who won theDecember election. Also, Outgoing Gambian President Yahya Jammeh declares 90-day state of emergency two days before expected handover source BBCnews
