EARLIER THIS WEEK, Adama Barrow was elected President of Gambia in a surprise win, defeating the country’s incumbent president, Yahya Jammeh, who had led the country for 22 years.

Barrow, who owns a real estate company, lived in London in the early 2000s and following his election, it emerged that he once worked as a security guard in Argos, prompting headlines like this:
