Viols présumés en série par un chauffeur à Dakar et sur la Petite-Côte : « WaxJotna » interpelle Yango et exige justice
Following testimonies from several women accusing the same driver operating on the Yango app of robbing and raping them, the "WaxJotna" movement is demanding a swift investigation. In an official statement released on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, the organization specifically demands "the arrest of the driver in question and a thorough investigation into all the reported incidents, both in Dakar and along the Petite-Côte." It also calls for the women's complaints to be "received and processed without delay or blame."
Commending the courage of the alleged victims who have decided to speak out publicly, the movement believes that the consistency of their accounts justifies the swift initiation of legal proceedings. "Since Law No. 2020-05 of January 10, 2020, rape is a crime in Senegal: these women have the right to have their voices heard and to receive justice," the organization emphasizes.
Furthermore, WaxJotna is directly challenging the Yango platform, demanding accountability for its driver verification mechanisms and the reasons why the driver in question was allowed to remain active on the app. The movement believes the company cannot evade responsibility for passenger safety while receiving commissions on every ride. "Yango earns revenue from every trip booked through its app: the platform cannot claim to guarantee the safety of its users while simultaneously arguing in court that it has no connection to its drivers," the statement emphasizes.
Finally, the feminist movement calls on the State of Senegal to urgently adopt a strict regulatory framework for chauffeur-driven transport vehicles (VTC), including systematic background checks and prior approval of drivers.

En tant que homme, je ne peux supporter ces genres de comportements.
Qu'il soit identifié et bien puni. Castré même pour ses comportements.
