From Food Warehouse to Prosecutor's Residence: The Remarkable Story of the House at Point E

A house owned by the state at Point E, originally used as a food warehouse by a Guinean merchant, was transformed into an administrative residence by Serigne Bassirou Guèye. After obtaining a lease in 2021, he renovated the building, which required significant repairs funded by himself. The case sparked lively political debate in Senegal, especially after Guèye wrote to President Macky Sall to expedite the process. The house, located in a sought-after Dakar neighborhood, has had an unexpected trajectory, shifting from a commercial storage to an official residence.
