“Don’t do that”: Aziz Ndiaye and Elimane Lam audio recordings revive the Rox case

The dispute between Awa Baldé and businessman Aziz Ndiaye concerns a plot of more than 7,000 square metres in Ngaparou and an agreement Baldé valued at over 125 million CFA francs. On July 23, 2026, Dakar’s criminal court ruled that the prosecution was time-barred, ending the criminal proceedings. Audio recordings in circulation reportedly show Rox offering to pay Ndiaye and his friend Elimane Lam to attack Baldé and her mother on social media; Ndiaye allegedly refused, saying Awa was “his daughter.” Rox’s recent arrest in a separate case involving several TikTok creators has brought the recordings back into the spotlight, although their authenticity has yet to be established.
