Ousmane Sonko’s remarks during his meeting in Touba last Sunday have sparked intense reactions. A group representing the descendants of Serigne Touba is preparing to take legal action against the former prime minister, citing allegations of embezzled public funds being distributed in the holy city.

According to journalist Madiambal Diagne, Sonko claimed that diverted state resources are being channeled to Touba. These comments have drawn sharp criticism from the religious community. The collective has announced plans to file a formal complaint, with further details expected during an upcoming press conference scheduled for this week.

While the motivations behind the legal challenge and the precise legal framework remain undisclosed, the collective is set to outline its case publicly. No official response has yet been issued by Sonko or his representatives regarding these developments.
