Golf Sud: Accused of raping his ex at knifepoint, he is caught up in two other cases

In Golf Sud, a complaint of alleged rape has brought to light a lengthy criminal record. Accused of forcing his ex-partner to have sex at knifepoint, Mr. Ba was also implicated in an old theft case and an assault that resulted in a security guard being off work for 30 days. Placed in pretrial detention, he will be tried this Wednesday before the Pikine-Guédiawaye court for flagrant offenses.

The case came to light following a complaint filed by A. Gningue on November 2nd at the Golf Sud police station. In her statement, this 38-year-old woman accuses her ex-boyfriend of forcing her to have sex at knifepoint on the night of November 1st to 2nd at his home in the Cité Nations Unies neighborhood.

According to the complainant, she had met Mr. Ba two months earlier at a complex called "Képargui." After accepting his proposal of a romantic relationship, she claims she gradually noticed suspicious behavior from her partner. In her complaint, she alleges that, on the night in question, the accused entered her room and attempted to have sexual intercourse with her.

When she refused, he allegedly insulted her before brandishing a knife to threaten her. Claiming she couldn't get help, she says she was forced to give in. The following morning, as she was packing to go to Yarakh to see her mother, her ex-partner allegedly forbade her from leaving. She eventually managed to escape and seek police assistance.

Members of the Golf Sud investigation unit then went to his home. Mr. Ba was found in the complainant's bedroom, lying on a mattress, with a knife nearby. He was arrested and taken to the police station.

But the investigation also uncovered another theft. During his arrest, police found a biometric national identity card in Mr. Hanne's name in his wallet. When questioned about its origin, Mr. Ba maintained that the owner had given it to him.

This version of events is formally contested by the woman. When questioned by investigators, Mr. Hanne stated that he had lost his identity card more than three months prior, following the theft of his iPhone 11 Pro from a restaurant called "Bifalo" in Cambérène. He maintains that his identity card was inside the phone case and insists that he does not know the accused in any way.

Mr. Ba had also been wanted since last September, following a complaint of assault and battery filed by Mr. Tine. The latter, a security guard at the "Chez Valérie" complex, accuses the accused of having assaulted him on the evening of September 9, 2026, following an altercation in the establishment.

According to his statement, Mr. Ba first broke a beer bottle to attack him before pulling out a knife concealed under his trousers. The victim claims he was injured on his right hand with a shard of glass. Taken to Dalal Jamm Hospital, Mr. Tine was issued a medical certificate indicating a 30-day period of temporary incapacity for work (ITT) following surgery.

When questioned about the various events, Mr. Ba partially admitted to the accusations against him. Brought before the Pikine-Guédiawaye prosecutor's office last Friday, he was remanded in custody. He is being prosecuted for indecent assault with violence, death threats, illegal possession of a firearm, theft committed at night, and assault and battery resulting in a 30-day period of temporary incapacity for work. The accused will be tried this Wednesday before the Pikine-Guédiawaye court for flagrant offenses.
