Pikine : Un caporal-chef des armées arrêté après s'être opposé à l'interpellation d'un dealer

On the night of October 26, 2025, at around 1 a.m., two men were arrested by the Pikine district police station's research brigade. Tattooist P. Dieng, 26, residing in Pikine Tally Bou Mack, and Corporal AS, 29, a soldier serving in the First Battalion and also a resident of Pikine, are being prosecuted for possession of Indian hemp and obstruction of justice, respectively.

On the night of October 26, members of the Pikine police station's search brigade conducted their usual nighttime patrol. Their destination: the area around Pikine's Zinc Market, more specifically the tattoo artists' corner. This area is known to police as a hotspot for the trafficking of Indian hemp.

As the police approached, a group of people sitting at tables in the area immediately dispersed. But tattoo artist P. Dieng didn't have time to escape. He was immediately arrested by the bloodhounds.

At the scene where the group was sitting, the police discovered six cones of Indian hemp. The tattooist was then taken to the police vehicle to be taken away.

The unexpected intervention of a soldier

It was as P. Dieng was about to board the police vehicle that the situation changed. Army Corporal AS introduced himself to the police. According to sources close to the investigation contacted by Seneweb, the soldier declined his status and intervened on behalf of the tattoo artist, who happened to be his neighbor. He asked the police for clemency.

The police officers asked him to leave the area. But the corporal persisted in his intervention. According to the same sources, he eventually opposed the police action.

Tensions quickly escalate. A heated argument erupts between the soldier and the police. The verbal exchanges give way to punches. Faced with this confrontation, the sleuths decide to arrest Corporal AS as well. He is eventually taken to the police station, as is the tattoo artist.

Questioned at the police station, tattoo artist P. Dieng categorically denied the charges of possessing Indian hemp. He refused to acknowledge that the six cones discovered at the scene belonged to him.

For his part, Corporal AS acknowledges having been present at the scene when P. Dieng was arrested. However, he denies any attempt to obstruct the justice system. His version of events is different: according to him, he was the victim of violence at the hands of police officers. To support his statements, he presents visible signs of beatings, including a swollen left eye.

    Il est vraiment effrontè ce soldat . En plus il n'ai pas intelligent . Deployer son statut de soldat en exercise a du mettre en colère les policiers .
    Et quand tu retourneras au camp , tes chefs te demanderons de l'image que tu donnes de l'armèe .

    Dès l'instant qu'il s'agit d'une affaire de chanvre, le CCH ne devait même pas s'approcher encore moins entraver l'exercice de la justice. Non seulement il se fait bastonner et humilier par ses frères d'armes mais ternie par la même occasion l'image des Armées.
    D'un autre coté les policiers arrêtez de vous en prendre en GROUPE à un élément des FDS.

    Chers internautes, arrêtez de juger sur la base d'un article. Présentement, vous n'avez pas assez d'informations, laissez la justice faire son travail. On verra bien la suite insha Allah.

    Bien dit, c'est juste un article à titre informatif. Qui à tort ? Qui à raison ? C'est à la justice d'en décider.
    C'est vraiment dommage de voir ces situations ...
