A Gambian policewoman has been promoted after showing “diligence and dedication” by continuing to direct the traffic in heavy rain, Gambia’s police magazine reports.

She continued “to give signals to vehicles with unwavering passion”, the police magazine says.

Her efforts have now been recognised by the police chief, Alhagi Mamour Jobe, and she has been promoted to sergeant.
