Moussa Diop and Oumar Seck were brought before the prosecutor on 6 November by the police station of Diamaguène Sicap Mbao, in Senegal, in the investigation into the death of Ibrahima Diallo, 14, reports Senego, citing Senenews. The two men are being prosecuted for unlawful assembly, disturbing public order and an act of vandalism resulting in murder. Diop is presented as a "Thiak-Thiak" motorcycle rider and Seck as a "clando" taxi driver, both residing in Fass Mbao.
Their arrest follows the use of information and images linked to the clashes between supporters of the wrestler Siggil Yeumbeul and youths from Fass Mbao. Ibrahima Diallo, originally from Yeumbeul, is said to have been struck with a metal object before succumbing to his injuries. The toll from the clashes has reached four dead, after three deaths previously recorded.
During their hearings, the two suspects are said to have named other people presented as instigators and currently on the run. Senego reports that one of the fugitives, who is said to be injured, tried to get treatment at two health facilities in the locality without success, for lack of a police requisition.
