Mai Ahmad Fatty said financial experts were trying to evaluate the exact loss.

Luxury cars and other items were seen being loaded on to a Chadian cargo plane on the night Mr Jammeh left the country.

Mr Jammeh flew into exile on Saturday, ending his 22 years in power.

He had refused to accept election results but finally left after mediation by regional leaders and the threat of military intervention.

President Barrow remains in neighbouring Senegal and it is not clear when he will return.

Mr Jammeh was defeated in the country's December 1 election by Adama Barrow but he went on to challenge the results.

Mr Jammeh made no comment at the airport and the destination of the jet he boarded was unclear. He was accompanied by Guinean President Alpha Conde, who mediated the terms of his departure with Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz and others.

As a price for leaving, Jammeh demanded amnesty, the right to go to and from Gambia and recognition for his political party, said Marcel de Souza, head of the commission of West African regional bloc ECOWAS.

West African mediators spent several hours with Mr Jammeh on Friday, negotiating his future.

The motorcade carrying the presidents of Guinea and Mauritania has left the official residence, but they are not thought to have left the country.

Mr Jammeh was defeated in December's election and his successor Adama Barrow has been inaugurated.

A tweet from an account believed to belong to the new president, saying that Mr Jammeh had agreed to step down and go into exile, has since been deleted.

Adama Barrow is due to be inaugurated as the new president on Thursday, and West African military forces are poised to move in.

Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz met Mr Jammeh for last-minute talks before flying on to meet Senegal's President Macky Sall.

Mr Barrow won elections last month.

Senegalese troops remain stationed at the Gambian border, as the deadline for Mr Jammeh to stand down passed at midnight.

The threat of military action is supported by Nigeria and other states in the region.
