Tribunal de Dakar : Le verdict est tombé pour Ndeye Thiam « Bété Bété » et ses coprévenus
The Dakar Magistrates' Court tried actress Ndeye Ndao Thiam, known as "Ndeye Thiam Bété Bété," student Aïssatou Goudiaby, businesswoman Fatou Diallo, also known as "Fafa," and businessmen Sidy Mouhamed and Abou Daffé on Wednesday, September 9. The case stemmed from a private party held at the Pullman Hotel. Initially accused of watch theft, the proceedings ultimately escalated into allegations of drug use.
In court, the defendants gave sometimes contradictory accounts. The prosecution, for its part, relied on the elements of the preliminary investigation, notably the analysis of telephone data and images from the hotel's CCTV cameras.
Sidy Mouhamed, who ultimately withdrew his civil suit, recounted the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of his watch: “The watch was in my bag. I only realized it was missing on Sunday,” he explained. He stated that he was in room 325 and that the group was initially supposed to go to Saly, but heavy rain changed their plans. A second room was then rented to continue the party with the young women who arrived on Friday evening. Although he claims to have seen his watch in his bag on the Thursday before the incident, he admitted to the judge: “Honestly, I didn’t see Fatou take the watch.”
A crucial detail exploited by the defense. Fatou Diallo, prosecuted for this theft, firmly denied the facts: "I never saw the watch, I was just at the party. The watch he reported stolen is hidden," she argued to contest the case.
Drug charges: phones and videos at the heart of the debate
Faced with the findings of the investigators and the CCTV images from the Pullman showing, according to the prosecution, some participants consuming narcotics, all the defendants denied ownership or supply of the products.
Abou Daffé, suspected of supplying the group, categorically rejected the accusations: “I am a business owner, I am neither a drug user nor a supplier. I only came to Senegal for work.” Sidy Mouhamed also denied using illicit substances, despite investigators finding images of white powder resembling cocaine on his mobile phone.
Ndeye Thiam, known as "Bété Bété," also faced intense questioning from the prosecutor regarding her online history. The prosecution reminded her of exchanges dating back to 2021 with a third party who encouraged her to use narcotics. "I don't know this person, I don't smoke, and I don't take drugs," the actress retorted, before denying that she had admitted during her police custody to occasional drug use to relieve stomach pains. Aïssatou Goudiaby offered the same line of defense, refuting the police reports attributing to her statements incriminating Abou Daffé.
Regarding the nitrous oxide discovered during a search of Fatou Diallo's home, the defendant maintained that the product did not belong to her. The defense seized upon this legal loophole: lawyers Souleymane Soumaré, Ndeye Coumba Kane, and Abdoubacry Barro pointed out that nitrous oxide was not listed in the official list of narcotics, citing a 2025 ruling from the same court that had resulted in an acquittal.
Missing technical analysis and general relaxation
Abou Dialy Kane, counsel for Abou Daffé and Sidy Mouhamed, addressed the issue of the substance of the offense: "In drug cases, a technical analysis is required to confirm that the product is a drug," he argued, lamenting that his clients, initially prosecuted for a simple watch theft, had ended up in detention. Ibamar Diop and Clédor Ciré Ly, in turn, requested the outright acquittal of all the defendants.
In his closing arguments, the prosecutor requested the acquittal of Fatou Diallo for the theft of the watch, as well as that of Abou Daffé for offering and selling drugs. However, considering the charges of drug use and possession established by the CCTV footage, the prosecution requested a one-month prison sentence.
Ruling on the matter, the court finally pronounced the general acquittal of all the defendants and acknowledged Sidy Mouhamed's withdrawal.

Ou bien tu possèdes la technologie évoquée par un homme politique qui disait que cette technologie permet de sentir les odeurs et parfums au Cap Skiring rien qu'en visionnant la vidéo depuis l'Europe.
De toutes les façons, ces trois dames ont été déjà condamnées par le tribunal populaire. 3 journées de partouze pour des jeunes dames de "bonne famille".
En plus un hôtel n'a pas le droit de filmer l'intimité des clients dansleschambres c'estdun'importequoi..On peut les porter plainte
Si quelqu'un peut éclairer ma lanterne là dessus, je suis preneur😂
Tout est entré dans l'ordre puisque le plaignant a retrouvé sa montre.
C'est la pauvreté qui pousse les filles à se jeter dans les bras de ceux qui en ont plein aux as.
"Gnakk baakhoul si waa diou baakhoul"... Tous les pauvres sont devenus vulnérables.
