Civil-status forgery and use of forged documents: wrestler “Boy Dakar” acquitted by court

The Dakar Court of First Instance acquitted wrestler Babacar Ba, known as “Boy Dakar,” on Thursday of alleged civil-status forgery and use of forged documents. He had been arrested by Dakar’s Urban Security unit after an investigation by the Directorate of File Automation into how he obtained his civil-status documents. Investigators cited a birth declaration registered in 1993 in Bourguiba under the name Boubacar Diallo, born in 1991, and possible irregularities in the relevant register.
