In a significant development linked to a broader legal investigation, Matar Ndiaga Seck, a close associate of Senegal’s Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, has been taken into custody by the Criminal Investigations Division (DIC). The arrest follows a warrant issued by the Linguère police station, marking a pivotal moment in a case that has already seen 22 individuals detained on suspicions of unnatural acts in the Djoloff region.

The authorities have cited “concordant evidence” that connects Seck to the alleged incidents, though specific details about his role remain under scrutiny. This case has drawn attention not only for its legal implications but also for the high-profile connections involved, raising questions about the broader context of the investigation.

The DIC has not yet released further statements regarding the nature of the evidence or the timeline of the proceedings. As the situation develops, legal observers and the public alike await more clarity on how this case will unfold and what it may reveal about the circumstances surrounding the alleged activities in the Djoloff area.
