A complaint was filed against Ousmane Sonko at the Dakar prosecutor’s office. The complaint is attributed to a letter sent on July 14, 2026, from the Collective of Serigne Touba’s grandchildren.
The complaint alleges that Ousmane Sonko made false claims about ‘dirty money’ entering the holy city of Touba during the inauguration of PASTEF’s headquarters. The plaintiffs claim that these statements are damaging to Touba’s honor, reputation, and spiritual integrity.
The Collective demands an immediate investigation into the matter, with Ousmane Sonko being called to testify and provide evidence for his claims. They also request that any investigations deemed necessary be conducted to verify or refute the allegations made against him.
The plaintiffs are seeking prosecution if the facts justify it, specifically mentioning defamation, spreading false news, and other offenses punishable by law.
