The Collectif des descendants de Serigne Touba has filed a lawsuit against Ousmane Sonko, citing defamation and the spread of false information. The legal action is led by attorney Me Aboubacry Barro, as confirmed by Babacar Malick in a social media post.
This move follows remarks made by Sonko, in which he alleged that “recently, funds have been channeled to Touba, sourced from public coffers and obtained illegally.”
The accusations escalated when he further claimed that this financial influx “is not meant for political purposes”, implying instead that it was being diverted to meet “political demands.”
