Politician Ndiaga Seck was taken into custody on Friday, facing allegations of unnatural acts after being implicated in a separate legal case involving another suspect. The arrest has sparked intense debate, with critics questioning the timing and motives behind the charges.

The controversy deepened when journalist Madiambal Diagne suggested a connection between Ndiaga Seck and his alleged ties to Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko. A claim that Cheikh Bara Ndiaye vehemently rejected, condemning it as a deliberate attempt to undermine key figures through baseless associations.

Vowing to uphold judicial independence, Cheikh Bara Ndiaye praised Ousmane Sonko for his measured response, noting that the Prime Minister had publicly called for the legal process to unfold without interference. The lawmaker emphasized the importance of allowing institutions to function without political pressure.

Ndiaga Seck remains in police custody and is expected to appear before a judge in Linguère on Monday for further proceedings. As the case unfolds, the political undercurrents continue to fuel speculation about its true intentions.
