Contrary to reports from some media outlets, the Central Bank of The Gambia has issued a press release denying reports of a fire outbreak at the Bank.

“Contrary to this information, the Central Bank wishes to inform the general public that there was no fire incident as widely reported.

The Central Bank of The Gambia assures the general public that it is safe and sound and as such, there is no cause for alarm,” said a statement from the Bank.

The letter was posted on social media. Upon hearing the fake news this paper called up the Fire and ambulances PRO to confirm but according to him, there was no such incident.

It is incredible to have such news concerning an institution like the Central bank to be on our airwaves.
