Gambia security forces 'seize election headquarters'

The Gambia's security forces have taken over the headquarters of the Electoral Commission following disputed elections. 

Chairman of the Commission, Alieu Momar Njai says security forces are preventing staff from entering the premises of the Commission. 

President Yahya Jammeh initially conceded defeat to Adama Barrow in a recent poll, before changing his mind not to accept the result.  

West African leaders are in The Gambia to try to persuade Mr. Jammeh to step down peacefully.
