Dakar Court: Complaint Filed Against Ousmane Sonko After Comments on Touba

The Collective of Grandsons of Serigne Touba filed a complaint against Ousmane Sonko for comments made during the inauguration of the PASTEF headquarters, where he allegedly stated that 'dirty money has entered the holy city of Touba.' The complaint, registered under number 12562, was filed with the prosecutor's office at the Dakar High Court. The plaintiffs claim these statements harm the honor and image of Touba, founded by Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba on values of faith and integrity. They request an investigation to verify the basis of the remarks and pursue charges for defamation and spreading false news.
