[EXCLUSIF] L'oncle du lutteur Reug Reug sur PV : « Mon neveu savait que le carton contenait des billets noirs et il devait recevoir sa part… »
Wrestler Ahmadou Bamba Ndiaye, also known as "Usine" and maternal uncle of his colleague Oumar Kane , also known as "Reug Reug," was charged and remanded in custody by the investigating judge. A few days later, Seneweb published the transcripts of his interrogation at the Faidherbe police station, the day after his arrest.
According to our sources, the 31-year-old suspect maintains his innocence: his nephew, Reug Reug, was aware of the operation to launder the counterfeit banknotes. He has been taken into custody on charges of conspiracy, attempted fraud, and possession of materials intended for counterfeiting legal tender.
On September 25, 2026, a judicial police officer serving at the Dakar BR heard Ahmadou Bamba Ndiaye and recorded the facts.
When asked about his profession, he replied, "I'm a professional wrestler. I practice wrestling with and without strikes." The investigators then asked him if he knew Diégane Faye, commonly known as "Saltigué Diégou," and Omar Kane, better known as "Reug-Reug." He explained that the latter was his nephew: "His mother is my older sister." Regarding Diégane Faye, he said he was his spiritual guide: "He's the one in charge of my spiritual matters for each wrestling match."
Regarding his presence at the apartment where he was arrested, the suspect recounted that Diégane Faye had called him to say he was with a technician capable of washing or processing counterfeit banknotes. "After he reassured me, I went to meet them at the apartment so they could wash the counterfeit bills," he stated. He added that Diégane Faye had given him directions over the phone to meet them by taxi.
When asked if he had any counterfeit money when he arrived, he replied in the negative: "First of all, I came empty-handed to inquire about the situation on the ground."
The role assigned to Reug Reug
It is on this point that his statements implicate his nephew. When questioned about the identity of the person who had brought the box of banknotes presented to the technicians, he stated: “After carrying out the checks on site, I immediately called my nephew Omar Kane, alias 'Reug-Reug', and asked him to bring me the box containing the black banknotes. He brought it in his Mazda X -5, which he was driving.”
The investigators asked him what he had told his nephew to get him to come with the product. "I told him I had a technician capable of washing black banknotes and I asked him to bring the carton of banknotes," he replied.
When asked if Omar Kane knew the box contained counterfeit bills, he answered without hesitation: "Yes, he was aware of it."
The origin of the banknotes
Regarding the owner of the cash presented to the undercover agents posing as technicians, Ahmadou Bamba Ndiaye stated that the box had been given to him by GM, a plumber still at large, who lives in a village near Thiès. He said he did not know GM's exact address but provided his phone number to the investigators.
He described GM as a friend he had known for about a month. According to him, GM had told him he was in possession of the banknotes and was looking for someone to clean them. He had given them to GM so he could find people or a technician capable of cleaning them to obtain authentic banknotes legal tender in Senegal. The exchange took place at the Keur Mousseu intersection.
According to the suspect, the estimated payout in the event of a successful laundering operation was approximately 750,000,000 CFA francs. However, he specified that GM had not informed him of the type of banknotes, but only their equivalent value in CFA francs.
The planned storage and sharing
The banknotes had been in his possession for about twenty days. He explained that upon receiving the package, he entrusted it to his nephew, Omar Kane, who kept it at his home. The plan was as follows: once the banknotes were cleaned and authenticated as legal tender, he was to report back to GM before proceeding with the distribution. He, for his part, planned to contact a technician to carry out the necessary procedures.
Regarding his nephew's share, he stated: "Honestly, the plan was, once I had finalized things with my friend GM, to give him his share."
The second interrogation, on September 26
The following day, September 26, 2026, Reug Reug's uncle faced investigators again. When questioned about a banknote printing machine mentioned during his conversation with the undercover agents , he stated: "The machine broke down. Then, a man named A., who has not yet been arrested, went to Gambia to repair it." He added that he had personally given him 1,500,000 CFA francs for the repair costs. Since this man left for Gambia, he has lost contact with him and is currently unreachable. He did, however, provide his phone number to the investigators.
Finally, the police reminded him that he had told the officers on site that he had seven other partners in this car wash project. He acknowledged this statement, but made a confession: "In reality, these other partners are fictitious."
I only said it to make the technicians believe that several people were involved in the washing project so that we could benefit from a larger percentage after the profits were divided.
Prosecuted for criminal association, attempted fraud and possession of material intended for counterfeiting legal tender, Ahmadou Bamba Ndiaye remains in custody.

Dans ce secteur la majorité est composé d'indic qui travaille pour la police et la gendarmerie.
Donc personne ne peut faire ce sale boulot sans pour autant que les ne le sache
On libere quelqu'un apres de tels faits pour aller gagner des millions dans l'arene de lutte. Quelle privilege...
Et en plus s'il s'active à détrruire des preuves cela n'impactera t-il pas le proces à venir.
on verra bien qui sera elargi, et qui va croupir tout de suite en prison.
l' Afrique n'arretera jamais de m'etonner.
Dans tous les pays serieux, criminels et complices sont tous mis dans le meme sac.
on cherche pas de midi a quatorze heures. c'est 6 et 9
C'est dificile de vouloir contredire Trump sur sa position par rapport a l' Afrique.
