Keylor convicted: shopkeepers are not giving up

After influencer Keylor was sentenced on November 4, 2026, to six months in prison, including 15 days to be served, and fined 200,000 CFA francs, the National Federation of Shopkeepers for Modernization (FNBM) said the case is not over. It clarified that the fine goes to the public treasury and does not compensate the affected shopkeepers or the federation. The FNBM said its civil-party claim was not accepted, partly because the shopkeepers shown in the videos did not appear in court as a precaution amid security concerns. The federation urged members to report threats to the authorities and called for a workplace free from violence and discrimination.
