The list of persons arrested as part of the COVVI-19 management survey continues to lie down. After the arrest of Mamadou Ngom Niang, former director of general administration and equipment (DAGE) of the Ministry of Sports, a new personality joins the list: the song artist Baba Hamdy.
It was journalist Thioro Mandela who revealed the information this Monday, April 14, confirming the arrest of the musician, a well -known figure in the Senegalese cultural landscape.
The precise reasons for its arrest have not yet been made public, but it is part of the wave of arrests currently carried out by the authorities within the framework of judicial investigations around the billions allocated to the management of the pandemic.
This new twist occurs while the Criminal Investigations Division (DIC), under the leadership of the financial judicial pool, intensifies its actions to shed light on this state affair.
The case thus takes on a new dimension, mixing former government officials and actors in the cultural world.
Remember that the hearing of the former Minister of Transport under former President Macky Sall, Mansour Faye is currently in hearing.
