Senegal investigates Matar Ndiaga Seck over alleged criminal acts

Investigation launched in Senegal over alleged unnatural acts

Matar Ndiaga Seck, a close associate of Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, has been taken into custody by the Criminal Investigations Division (DIC). The arrest follows an alert issued by the Linguère police station, raising questions about its connection to a broader case.

The detained individual is now linked to an ongoing investigation involving the arrest of 22 people in the Djoloff region on suspicion of involvement in acts deemed contrary to local laws. Authorities cite “consistent evidence” that connects Seck to the alleged offenses, though further details remain under scrutiny.

The case has drawn attention due to its sensitive nature and the prominent position of the individual concerned. Investigators have not yet disclosed the full scope of the evidence or the timeline of events leading to the arrests.
