The ousted President and his family were just looting the country for their own gain.
Gabon's former President Omar Bongo had 70 bank accounts, 39 apartments, 2 Ferraris, 6 Mercedes Benz cars, 3 Porsches and a Bugatti in France.
He ruled for 42 years (from 1967 to 2009).
His son, Ali Bongo has been President since 2009.
He has just been overthrown in a coup. pic.twitter.com/HoKtfmgwZw
