🤣🤣🤣🤣'ain't gonna suffer after this'

Sounds like a true patriot

Business as usual for African leaders really

That's a classic

It all seemed more peaceful when Europe owned Africa.

Is he living in a council flat in Hackney now..

Haul him back to Gambia then...

Lushing up corrupt countries of the Elite in charge.......Thats what our governments do and we the tax payer pay for it and those on benefits suffer.......Oh and let’s not forget about the bottom less pot holes!!🙄😎🤘

Where there is big criminal bucks, there are countries with politicians with their hands reached out. 🙌 In America, EU and every where else. PanamaPapers

Fleeing where, to mars? I mean what's the use of institutions like Interpol? Why can't they arrest these thugs? And the banks are happy to receive such dirty money.

Pay a hacker to find the damn money & return to the country it was stolen from. That's how you end this!

Europe enables the rape of LDCs by providing money to kleptocrats. Give directly to entities helping the people. Those doing good work are easy to find. Ask the people.

Imagine my shock. Is much of that was foreign aid?

But the European countries harbour this money anyway knowing it’s stolen!

That’s on the white saviours will help out

This is why there is so much poverty in Africa! UN should consider their position in the world

Of course he did , Despot Leaders abound right across Africa , a failed Continent sadly , He is a Criminal , send him back to face the Music , never happens though , these Bloke s are a Protected Species , like RobertMugabe

How much will our own steal b4 fleeing.

African leaders stealing n African people dying just for water n lives in a water scarce environment such a shame on these types of leaders who finds every country of the world

The selfless crop were Ketumile Masire, Nelson Mandela, Kenneth Kaunda and Julius Nyerere. The others are looters just like this thug.

He getting some new grills, some bitches and a nice ride.

African leaders are sick.

TIA!

Just like them in this country

Wow...someone in airport security is getting the boot if they failed to spot someone carrying a billion dollars. I can't even get in with a can of Lynx and a tube of toothpaste.

No words. Greg0706.

African leaders stealing? Who’d have thought it?

If he weren't black I would say he was probably a friend of Trumps
