His images, in police or gendarme uniform, went around social networks. Mr. Thiaw, a well -known counterpart of the police, was arrested in the act in Mermoz by the agents of the Dieppel police station while he was carrying a complete outfit of the gendarmerie, Rangers, Béretur and belt understood.
He was discreetly followed by real gendarmes in civilian clothes aboard a pickup. His arrest follows an information exploited by the police: for two months, an individual in uniform has been causing motorists near the Elton station in the early morning, pretending to want to treat his sick mother.
Located this Wednesday around 7 a.m. on Wednesday, the suspect was arrested. During his hearing, Mr. Thiaw said he was a fourth year of medicine at UCAD. A excavation made it possible to discover three receipts for the deposit of CNI, a military bag, a gendarme polo shirt, as well as many compromising photos on his phone. In a WhatsApp group called “58th promotion of non-commissioned officers of the gendarmerie”, he called himself “chef Aïdara”.
This is not a first for him: he had already been referred in 2023 for similar facts by the same police station, recalls Seneweb.
