A close associate of Senegal’s Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, Matar Ndiaga Seck, has been taken into custody by the Criminal Investigations Division (DIC). The arrest follows a warrant issued by the Linguère police station.
Investigators allege that Seck is connected to a case involving 22 individuals detained in the Djoloff region on suspicion of involvement in acts classified as unnatural. The DIC stated that “concordant evidence” ties him directly to the ongoing investigation.
Legal implications and investigation details
The case centers on allegations that the 22 individuals were involved in activities deemed illegal under Senegalese law. Authorities have not disclosed further specifics about the evidence against Seck, but his arrest suggests a significant development in the probe.
The Djoloff region, where the initial arrests occurred, has become a focal point in this legal matter. Investigators continue to gather information as the case unfolds.
