Babacar Ba, leader of the Forum du Justiciable, has firmly condemned attempts to associate Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko with the case of Ndiaga Seck, who was detained on suspicion of committing unnatural acts. He argues that such insinuations are not only baseless but also undermine the integrity of Senegal’s highest executive office.

In an official statement, Ba emphasized that as head of government, Ousmane Sonko represents the state itself. Any effort to damage his reputation, he stressed, is an affront to the institution he leads. The Forum du Justiciable president insisted that the arrest of Ndiaga Seck cannot logically be used to tarnish the premier’s standing, regardless of public or political motives.

Ba further warned that such tactics violate core principles of rule of law, which must remain sacrosanct in any democratic society. His remarks come amid ongoing public discourse surrounding the Ndiaga Seck case, which has drawn significant attention and commentary across Senegal.
