Guédiawaye : le président des supporters du GFC arrêté après s’être opposé à une opération antidrogue
Raphaël François Mendy Diatta, better known as " Bobé," president of the Guédiawaye Football Club (GFC) supporters' group, is in serious trouble. L'Observateur reports that he was remanded in custody on Friday, October 9th. Charged with rebellion, violence, and assault against law enforcement officers, he will be tried in summary proceedings on Friday, October 16th.
The incident dates back to Wednesday evening in a public garden opposite the Ndiarème-Limamoulaye town hall, the newspaper reports. Alerted by a tip about suspicious activity involving young people described as drug dealers, officers from the Guédiawaye Central Police Station's Criminal Investigation Brigade moved in to arrest them. But as they were about to apprehend the suspects, "Bobé" reportedly physically intervened, causing a chaotic scene which the young people used to escape. They abandoned illicit substances at the scene. The intervention then escalated into a confrontation between the supporters' leader and the police, who eventually managed to subdue him.
Taken to the central police station, the suspect was brought before the prosecutor on Thursday, before being released pending further investigation. He was finally remanded in custody the following day. The newspaper, part of the Groupe Futurs Médias, reports that several sports officials and influential political figures from the suburbs attempted to intervene on his behalf to reach an out-of-court settlement and "suppress the scandal." But despite these efforts, the justice system remained "firm," adds L'Observateur.
The investigation continues, particularly to determine whether "Bobé" himself had ties to the alleged drug trafficking network. Regarding the hearing scheduled for next Friday before the Pikine-Guédiawaye court of summary jurisdiction, L'Observateur warns that it "is already shaping up to be explosive."
