Affaire Bébé Réma : de nouvelles révélations sur les 100 millions FCFA extorqués à un mineur
L'Observateur brings new revelations to light regarding the extortion case involving an estimated 100 million CFA francs. In its Monday edition, Libération revealed that the young, underage manager of a business in the Sandaga market had stolen this substantial sum from his own father, blinded by his feelings: he was, in fact, madly in love with the influencer M. Diagne, also known as Bébé Réma.
In its Tuesday edition, the newspaper of the Future Media Group details the modus operandi of the network that exploited this vulnerability, the "trap" set by the Research Brigade (BR) of Keur Massar, as well as the exact distribution of the sums extorted from the victim.
According to the daily newspaper, the investigation was completed within 24 hours following a warrant issued by Prosecutor Saliou Dicko. To arrest Bébé Réma, the same source reports, the gendarmes set up a trap at the Cambérène roundabout (Case Bi), where the minor, under their supervision, tricked them into believing he had 15 million CFA francs intended for a marabout (a traditional healer) to cover up a discrepancy in the family business's accounts. The influencer was arrested immediately upon her arrival.
During her hearing, Bébé Réma denied any romantic relationship with the young man, claiming he was "just a friend." However, she admitted to receiving a car from him—since returned to investigators—as well as 9.5 million to finance her business. Her family paid a 4 million deposit and signed a memorandum of understanding to repay the remaining balance.
The investigation also revealed that the minor was not only acting on his emotions, but also under pressure and repeated threats from his extortionists. He stated that he had given 27 million to a businessman named El Hadji Seck (now a fugitive in China), more than 22 million to a stylist and his brother for various bogus business projects, 5 million to two other suspects for a supposed clothing business, and more than 10 million to a hairdresser for opening a salon.
L'Observateur further specifies that five of the six people arrested have been released after beginning to repay the sums received or reaching mediation agreements with the victim's father. Only the hairdresser CAT Seck remains in custody, having been unable to guarantee repayment of the funds received.

Les gens au pouvoir sont d'anciens inspecteurs des impôts. J'avais espoir pour cela. Mais rien !
