Abdou Mbow’s complaint: Bad news for Ousmane Fall

Nearly four weeks after the September 30 incident at the National Assembly, the public prosecutor referred Abdou Mbow’s complaint against Ousmane Fall to the Urban Security Department. Questioned by investigators, the Takku Wallu Sénégal MP stood by his allegations of insults and attempted physical assault, saying gendarmes and witnesses stopped the confrontation from escalating. A video filmed by Thierno Alassane Sall reportedly shows Ousmane Fall being restrained by a security officer; Sall is among the witnesses expected to be questioned. Mbow has assembled a team of nine lawyers as the investigation continues.
