The team is in Morocco,’ Real de Banjul’s Willy Abraham told Foroyaa Sport. BYC proposed arrival has caused much noise and media publicity amid fears of the spread of ebola – a rampaging virus that has claimed thousand lives – with Liberia one of countries hit by the epidemic. As part of precautionary measures, the club is expected to be screened first when they touch down at the Gambia International Airport.
