Judicaël Fahé Case: Facebook Comment at the Center of Legal Battle with Serey Doh

Judicaël Fahé, regional coordinator of the Ivorian Network of Leaders and former secretary-general of Duékoué’s municipal youth organization, is due to appear before the Guiglo court on November 3, 2026, following a defamation complaint over a Facebook comment. Under a video by Douhou Benjamin, an associate of minister Serey Doh Célestin and president of the Guémon Regional Council, Fahé wrote: “Money laundering, do you know about that?” The complaint followed a video in which Douhou Benjamin thanked the minister for a new 4x4 vehicle. Some local observers say Fahé was questioning the communicator about the implications of his post, rather than directly accusing the minister.
