He also held the office of Commissioner for the North Bank Region . After the change of government (The Second Republic), Jallow served as Gambia's permanent representative to the United Nations . In the late 1990s, he moved to the Department of State for Defense as Secretary of State and later in the Department of State for Interior .

In 2002 he was appointed Gambian High Commissioner to Nigeria , an office he held until he switched to the NIA.

Jallow died on the morning of March 27, 2008 at the Royal Victoria Teaching Hospital (RVTH) in Banjul at the age of 63, leaving behind two wives and eight children. He was previously treated in Nigeria, where he was hospitalized for a week.
