Mbour : le faux journaliste défie la Gendarmerie sur TikTok
GB Mendy has been detained at the Mbour Detention and Correctional Center (MAC) since October 9th. The previous evening, around 9 p.m., at the Nguékhokh municipal stadium, a man, camera in hand, filmed the Navétanes match between the ASC "Renaissance" and "Diambars." A seemingly ordinary scene for a journalist covering a sporting event. According to L'Observateur, everything appeared to be fine. Except that GB Mendy, who presents himself as a local press professional, is not. And the most surprising part is yet to come.
Located in an area closed to the public, the same source reports, he was asked by a gendarme on duty to leave the area. But the young man categorically refused to comply. He ignored the officer's orders and even tried to climb over the security barrier to force his way through. The gendarme apprehended him before releasing him a few minutes later, the newspaper from the Groupe Futurs Médias specifies.
But GB Mendy didn't stop there. Once home, he created a video using footage of the gendarmerie's service vehicle taken at the scene. In it, he made virulent remarks against the National Gendarmerie before posting the video on WhatsApp and TikTok and encouraging his contacts to share it. L'Observateur notes that this post sparked a wave of hostility towards the Gendarmerie.
Arrested by the Nguékhokh gendarmerie brigade, he was remanded in custody at Mbour prison. In court, GB Mendy initially maintained that he was a journalist and held a press card. However, when questioned by the prosecutor about his training and the media outlet he claimed to work for, he eventually admitted that he was not a media professional and did not possess a press card. He explained that he had acted in a fit of anger. Despite his remorse, the prosecutor requested a four-month prison sentence. The verdict is expected on October 27.
