Tension à l’Assemblée : Le député Abdou Mbow porte plainte contre son collègue Ousmane Fall
MP Abdou Mbow has followed through on his words. According to Seneweb, the member of the Takku Wallu Sénégal parliamentary group has filed a complaint against his colleague from the majority party Pastef, Ousmane Fall. The complaint was filed last Friday with the public prosecutor at the Dakar court. It is registered under number 17403 in the prosecutor's office's incoming mail.
Abdou Mbow accuses Ousmane Fall of public insults, threats and assault following an altercation that occurred in the corridors of the National Assembly.
The incident dates back to the plenary session of Wednesday, September 30. According to the account given in the complaint, a heated exchange occurred between members of parliament after Abdou Mbow spoke from the podium. Upon leaving the chamber, the parliamentarian was confronted in the Assembly corridors by Ousmane Fall.
The opposition MP claims he was "subjected to a barrage of insults" before his colleague attempted to physically assault him. Police officers responsible for the institution's security and several MPs present at the scene reportedly intervened to prevent the altercation from escalating.
Flagrant offense invoked
Abdou Mbow is represented by a team of nine lawyers: El Hadj Amadou Sall, El Hadj Moustapha Diouf, Antoine Mbengue, Aboubacry Barro, Adama Fall, Ousmane Thiam, El Hadj Oumar Youm, Ramatoulaye Ba Bathily, and Aboubacry Deh. In their petition, the lawyers argue that the events took place publicly, in front of several witnesses, and could therefore constitute a flagrant offense.
A question then arises: that of parliamentary immunity. The plaintiff's lawyers believe that this would not prevent prosecution in the circumstances invoked, due to the flagrant nature of the acts.
The ball is now in the court of the Dakar prosecutor's office for the continuation of the case between the two MPs.
