Louga, Senegal — The judicial saga surrounding political figures in Senegal has taken another turn as Matar Ndiaga Seck, a 51-year-old politician, faced legal proceedings this week. Remanded in custody at the Linguère Urban Commissariat, he was formally charged and placed under judicial detention by investigating magistrates in Louga as part of an ongoing probe into allegations of acts against nature.
Confessions before investigators
During his interrogation, Ndiaga Seck reportedly made statements that have sent shockwaves through the political landscape. According to detailed accounts emerging from the inquiry, he allegedly claimed that Ousmane Sonko had no knowledge of his private life or presumed sexual orientation. His exact words, as reported in local media, were: « Xamul woon li may dund » — a Wolof phrase meaning “He knew nothing about my private life”.
Judicial proceedings intensify
The case, which has already led to multiple arrests in Linguère and the Djoloff region, is now under close scrutiny. Investigators are meticulously examining the roles of all individuals mentioned in the case file. As the legal process unfolds, no official response has yet been issued by Ousmane Sonko regarding the statements attributed to Ndiaga Seck.
In adherence to legal principles, all individuals implicated in the case remain presumed innocent until proven guilty by a competent court.
Ongoing developments
The investigation, led by a senior magistrate, continues to expand, with authorities vowing to uncover the full truth behind the allegations. Meanwhile, political observers are closely monitoring the situation, as its implications could reshape the current discourse in Senegalese politics.
