RHDP-Adjamé: Fousseni Konaté Sentenced to One Month in Prison

Fousseni Konaté, a business operator and longtime RHDP activist in Adjamé, was sentenced by the Plateau court of first instance on November 3, 2026, following a defamation complaint filed by Mayor Farikou Soumahoro. The article gives conflicting sentence lengths: its headline says one month in prison, while the body repeatedly reports a one-year sentence. The complaint followed Konaté’s criticism of municipal projects he said existed only in administrative documents, spending on luxury vehicles, and alleged pressure on critics of the municipal government. Municipal councillors defended the mayor, citing an execution rate of about 4% for the relevant investment spending while acknowledging delays in some projects.
