Un marabout qui avait annoncé la victoire du Mali à la CAN a été arrêté pour escroquerie
A self-proclaimed marabout on social media, who had promised Mali victory at the Africa Cup of Nations, was arrested this weekend for "fraud" after collecting more than 22 million CFA francs (€33,500), AFP learned from local sources. In exchange for donations, this man, identified only as Mr. Sinayogo, had guaranteed the Eagles' victory, but the Malian team was eliminated on Friday in the quarterfinals of the competition by Senegal (1-0).
Following the defeat, an angry mob went to his home before the police intervened and removed the marabout. Mr. Sinayogo was arrested and detained at the cybercrime unit, according to two videographers who worked for the marabout and who visited him.

“Charlatanism is punishable by law in Mali,” an official from the cybercrime unit told AFP. But arresting him while the national team was still competing would have been difficult “in the heat of the Africa Cup of Nations,” he continued. This man, initially known as a political activist, “proclaimed himself a marabout overnight and made a fortune,” explained a social media content creator close to him.
