Aminata Sy case: “Let him be killed as he killed my daughter,” a father’s terrible grief

After Aminata Sy was murdered in Podor, her father spoke in an audio recording shared on social media to deny allegations against his family and rumors that they had taken money from the young man before betraying him. He says Aminata had introduced the man as her boyfriend and that he intended to ask for her hand in marriage. The father says he insisted that Aminata, then a student, continue her education first; the young man reportedly agreed and claimed to work in Turkey. After nearly three years of phone conversations without meeting him in person, the father is demanding severe punishment for the man he holds responsible for his daughter’s death.
