Pikine-Guédiawaye Court: Oumar Sow files a complaint against Mouhamed Dieng for "insults and threats"

Former minister-advisor Oumar Sow, president of the And – Marchons Ensemble movement, filed a complaint with a civil action against businessman Mouhamed Dieng on Monday, October 12, 2026. The document was submitted to the investigating judge of the 1st chamber at the Pikine-Guédiawaye High Court, the senior judge. Seneweb reveals the details.

The subject of the complaint

Addressing "Mr. Dean of the investigating judges", Oumar Sow indicates that he is filing a complaint with civil action against Mouhamed Dieng "for acts of threats and insults" of which he claims to have been a victim, "as well as for any other offense that the investigation will characterize".

In the section entitled "Statement of Facts," the plaintiff explains that he appeared on a program broadcast on SENTV the Friday before the events. There, he "publicly demanded the release of Mr. Fallou," who was imprisoned following a complaint filed by Mouhamed Dieng.

Following this intervention, on Sunday, October 11, 2026, Oumar Sow claims to have received "a phone call from a foreign number," which he attributes to Mouhamed Dieng. According to his statements, "my caller [...] insulted me and made threats against me."

The former minister-advisor considers these actions "particularly serious," given that they occurred after he publicly expressed his opinion on a matter of public interest. He reiterates that "everyone must be able to express their opinions within the bounds of the law, without being subjected to threats or intimidation."

He therefore brought the matter before the court so that the circumstances of the appeal could be established, its author formally identified, and any potential criminal liabilities determined.

Given the seriousness of the facts, Oumar Sow requests the opening of a judicial procedure to verify the content of the call, to identify the number used and to collect "any element useful to the manifestation of the truth".

He attached to his complaint the supporting documents in his possession, namely a screenshot of the phone call and a photocopy of his identity document.

Oumar Sow declares his intention to join the proceedings as a civil party and requests that his complaint be examined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Senegalese Code of Criminal Procedure. He wishes that the necessary investigations be carried out to establish the alleged facts and that, if offenses are proven, those responsible be prosecuted according to the law.

He also reserves the right to seek "full compensation for the damages suffered", the extent of which will be specified during the proceedings.
