«Ici, tout le monde sait» : les graves accusations de Boy Djiné contre l’administration pénitentiaire
A third case for Boy Djiné. Held in pretrial detention since 2023 for two pending cases before the Dakar court of summary jurisdiction, Baye Modou Fall, his legal name, is facing another referral for pretrial detention. This time, he is being prosecuted for possession of communication devices in prison and complicity in smuggling contraband into prison.
Les Échos, which gave the information, indicates that the man nicknamed the ace of escapes was due to be tried this Wednesday, but his trial has been postponed to July 15.
The newspaper reveals that during a search of Boy Djiné's cell, held in solitary confinement in cell 1 of the Camp Pénal prison, guards found two cell phones, a memory card, and a memory card slot. Baye Modou Fall admitted to owning the devices, according to the daily, explaining that he had purchased one of the phones outside the prison before having it delivered fraudulently.
According to his statement, the second mobile phone belonged to an ex-inmate named Alpha Yaya Barry, who allegedly abandoned it at the prison camp because it no longer worked.
Regarding the memory card, Les Échos continues, Boy Djiné stated that the prison administration knew it was in his possession. Going further, he added that phones are smuggled into the prison with the complicity of the guards, in exchange for a payment of 40,000 CFA francs.
When asked to name the allegedly corrupt guards, Boy Modou Fall said no, according to the same source, quoting the transcript of his hearing: "It is not up to me to list the names of the [involved] prison guards because here, everyone knows what is going on."
Defending his right to own a phone, Boy Djiné added: “It’s true that it’s forbidden to have one in prison, but here, everyone has a cell phone; besides, when they’re discovered by the guards, no inmate is reprimanded. The administration just confiscates the phone. I’m in solitary confinement, so I’m alone; the phone is the only tool that allows me to exist, but also to talk to my loved ones.”
