Politician’s statement under scrutiny as investigation unfolds

During his questioning, Ndiaga Seck provided clarity regarding his relationship with Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, specifically addressing private matters. « Xamul woon li may dund », he stated in Wolof, meaning, « He knew nothing of my personal life. »

Seck emphasized that Sonko was unaware of his sexual orientation and lifestyle choices. The case, which originated at the Linguère urban commissariat, is now progressing under pretrial detention at the investigating judge’s office in Louga.
