Nourah Ba case: Momo Cissé granted provisional release ahead of Wednesday trial

Sen TV commentator Mamadou “Momo” Cissé was granted provisional release after being referred to the prosecutor’s office on Friday, October 16, 2026. He is due to appear before the flagrante delicto court next Wednesday in a case involving alleged dissemination of false news. The case concerns remarks he made on YouTube about influencer Nourah Ba, whom he reportedly said had been insulted and struck by a plainclothes police officer during her arrest on the Corniche. Questioned by the Special Cybersecurity Division, Cissé reportedly said people close to Ba had misled him and that he would issue a public apology.
