Éva Tra de la TFM dépouillée de 12 millions F CFA en bijoux : Son présumé voleur arrêté par la BR de Faidherbe à Taïba Niassène
Following a complaint filed by the presenter at TFM, Awa Traoré known as "Éva Tra", for jewelry theft, the Dakar/Faidherbe research brigade opened an investigation which led to the arrest, on September 9, 2026, of a trader based in Taïba Niassène, in the Kaolack region.
A cleverly orchestrated scam
It all began on Friday, July 24, 2026. An individual posing as a Sonatel agent contacted Éva Tra's home, where she was not present. Claiming an urgent bill needed to be paid to avoid having her phone line disconnected, the man managed to create an atmosphere of trust and urgency. He then successfully manipulated the presenter's son, who was at the house. The son eventually handed over his mother's gold jewelry, valued at an estimated 12 million CFA francs, according to Seneweb sources.
The suspect's modus operandi relies on impersonation and social engineering. By presenting himself as a Sonatel employee, he exploits the fear of a service interruption to create a sense of urgency in his interlocutor. This staged phone call, devoid of any prior physical contact with the victim, allows him to bypass the usual mistrust and obtain, through persuasion alone, the voluntary surrender of a valuable item by a family member.
The BR's tracking work in Faidherbe
After the complaint was filed, the Faidherbe Criminal Investigation Brigade (BR) carried out a series of cross-checks that allowed them to trace the suspect. This led the detectives to Taïba Niassène, in the Kaolack region, where the suspected merchant operated.
He is being prosecuted for fraud, impersonating a public official, and theft of jewelry worth 10 million CFA francs. The investigation is ongoing, particularly to determine whether he acted alone or with the complicity of others.
