RHDP-Adjamé: Fousseni Konaté Sentenced After Criticizing Adjamé Mayor’s Management

Fousseni Konaté, a business operator and RHDP activist in Adjamé, was sentenced to one year in prison on November 3, 2026, following a defamation complaint by Mayor Farikou Soumahoro. In early October, Konaté criticized the municipality’s management, alleging that plans for a police station and youth centers existed only in administrative documents, and denouncing spending on luxury vehicles and pressure against critics. Municipal councillors defended the mayor at a press conference; their spokesperson, Bamba Soumaïla, cited financial data showing an investment-spending execution rate of about 4%.
