« Lâche, misogyne et criminelle » : ce qu'a fait ce chauffeur de « Allô Dakar » pour fâcher le procureur
"Cowardly, misogynistic, and criminal": these were the terms used by the prosecutor in Diourbel to severely admonish the defendant in court. Visibly agitated, the prosecutor requested the maximum sentence.
According to L'Observateur, which attended the hearing, the case dates back to the end of July, 48 hours before the Grand Magal of Touba. R. Gningue, a freight forwarder residing in Thiaroye, hired L. Diop, a 36-year-old driver for "Allô Dakar," to transport her family to the holy city for 450,000 CFA francs. The contract stipulated that the goods would be dropped off at the family compound.
But upon arrival in Touba, the newspaper reports, L. Diop allegedly refused to drive his passengers to their destination, demanding they get off at the old bus station. A heated argument then broke out. The driver reportedly asked his accomplice, named Mass, who was behind the wheel, to continue the journey to Dakar with the family's luggage still in the trunk.
It was while trying to help her sister, who was clinging to the door of the moving vehicle, that R. Gningue was allegedly violently ejected by the driver. The fall onto the asphalt reportedly caused her to suffer a double open fracture of her left leg.
Instead of helping her, L. Diop reportedly got out of the vehicle, stole the victim's pocket money and iPhone 16 Pro Max, and fled with his accomplice. Fortunately, a neighborhood security guard, alerted by the injured woman's cries, called the fire department.
Following surgery, the freight forwarder was prescribed 60 days of sick leave. A complaint was filed with the Touba gendarmerie, who issued a wanted notice on August 2, 2026. The driver and his vehicle were eventually intercepted at the Kirène toll plaza.
L. Diop, who appeared last Thursday before the Diourbel court for flagrant offenses, categorically denied the accusations of violence and theft. He even allegedly tried to shift the blame onto the victim, stating: "It's her fault, she refused to pay me my money."
This version did not convince the public prosecutor, who denounced the seriousness of the facts and regretted that the case had not been referred to a criminal court, in view of the alleged violence and robbery with violence.
Appearing in court on crutches, R. Gningue is claiming 5 million CFA francs in damages. Her lawyer, Serigne Diongue, requested financial compensation commensurate with the harm suffered. Meanwhile, Cheikh Ngom, counsel for the defendant, pleaded for leniency and acquittal.
Deliberated on November 12th.

Il doit être nul
J’espère que ce Taximan voyou ira en prison.
Les taximen et les charretiers sont en majorité des drogues et des voyous.
C’est une tentative d’assassinat. Il est impoli en plus.
Mais la justice sénégalaise est laxiste, il sera libre dans trois mois
