Tentative de meurtre à Cambérène : O. Diallo reconnaît avoir tiré sur C. Gadiaga, sans "l'intention de tuer"
Seneweb has learned more about the attempted murder in Cambérène. Arrested in Keur Massar, the suspect readily confessed to the crime. He explained that he acted in a fit of anger.
On the afternoon of November 6, 2026, Y. Gadiaga went to O. Diallo's shop in Tilène to make an Orange Money transaction. According to his statement, a dispute arose between the two men. After a heated exchange, Y. Gadiaga left.
But O. Diallo followed him to his home in Cambérène, where he punched him in the face. A fight ensued. Y. Gadiaga claims that O. Diallo then drew his weapon, which he had previously loaded with ammunition, and aimed at him at point-blank range. He dodged the blow, and the bullet struck his brother C. Gadiaga in the right bicep, who had come to separate them. O. Diallo then realized the gravity of his actions. He fled on his motorcycle towards Keur Massar Apix.
Around 8 p.m., police officers from the district police station of Unit 15 of Parcelles-Assainies, informed of the facts, went to the scene while the victim had been evacuated by the staff on duty of the Mame Abdou Aziz Dabakh health center of Parcelles-Assainies.
The arrest and the confession
The investigators then went to Keur Massar where they identified and arrested O. Diallo, 44, a multi-service manager residing in Keur Massar in the Firdawsi district.
When questioned briefly, he admitted to the acts and said he had acted in a fit of anger. However, he stated unconvincingly that he had absolutely no intention of killing the other person.
A search of his room yielded the firearm he claimed to have used: a Browning Buck automatic pistol with a magazine loaded with three .22R rounds. Police also discovered a permit for the weapon, issued on November 24, 2025; a package containing 26 .22 caliber rounds; and a replica pistol without the proper authorization.
C. Gadiaga is currently conscious. He has been transferred to the Principal Hospital in Dakar to receive medical treatment.
O. Diallo was taken into custody for attempted murder, assault and battery with a firearm, endangering the lives of others, and possession of a firearm without authorization. The public prosecutor has been informed.
