Nuit de contrôles à Tivaouane : la police se mobilise pour le Gamou
During the night of August 18-19, 2026, the Tivaouane Urban Police Station conducted a large-scale security operation, with the support of the Thiès Central Police Station and the Mobile Intervention Group (GMI), as part of the security measures put in place for Gamou 2026.
The operation was preceded by a briefing led by Chief Superintendent of Police Cheikh Ndiaye, during which instructions were given to the forces involved before their deployment in the field. These forces were then positioned on the main roads leading to Saint-Louis, Touba-Kouta, and Mboro, with checkpoints set up to filter and monitor travelers using these routes.
On the ground, traffic officers systematically checked the documents of vehicles and drivers traveling on these roads. Simultaneously, the Criminal Investigation Unit conducted identity checks in several sensitive areas of the town, an operation that led to the arrest of several individuals, who are currently being held for questioning.
This mobilization of law enforcement is part of the overall security plan for the 2026 Gamou of Tivaouane, the objective of which is to ensure the protection of the population, the pilgrims and their property, and to guarantee the smooth running of this major religious event.
