The conclusions of the autopsy on the death of Minister Mamadou Moustapha Ba shake up the investigation. Contrary to initial assumptions, the results suggest that the death could be of suspicious origin. The Prosecutor's Office announces that the burial is postponed, time to carry out in-depth investigations to shed light on this disturbing matter.
“The results of the autopsy ordered to determine the causes of the death of Minister Mamadou Moustapha BA revealed several elements which are likely to attest that the death was not natural,” we read in a note made public by the Public Prosecutor.

The remains were accompanied by a gendarmerie motorcyclist, officials, as well as family members and relatives.
