The Urban Security Unit of the Guédiawaye Central Police Station, under the command of Lieutenant Sy Ba

police made another arrest yesterday, Monday, as part of the investigation into the "simil" style assaults. The arrest was of B. Magane, a 32-year-old tailor residing in Golf.

Identified thanks to surveillance videos

According to Seneweb sources, the sixth suspect arrested was formally identified through surveillance videos as one of the members of the motorcycle escort of wrestler Bébé Jackson's caravan.

When questioned about his presence at the time of the incident, Magane initially tried to deny being there. However, confronted with CCTV footage showing him near the Dial Mbaye bus stop on his motorcycle, wearing a red hood, the suspect became entangled in unconvincing denials.

A former prisoner pardoned by the president

B. Magane had been released by presidential pardon after a conviction for offering and selling marijuana. Faced with overwhelming evidence, he finally recanted his initial statements and admitted to being present at the scene, claiming he was looking for money he had misplaced in the area. The suspect was taken into custody after receiving the advice of Prosecutor Saliou Dicko, head of the Pikine-Guédiawaye prosecutor's office.

Summary of the facts

As a reminder, surveillance videos captured disturbing scenes showing individuals committing a series of assaults and robberies from vehicles. Several law-abiding citizens were victims of these attacks around the Dial Mbaye bus stop roundabout, sowing panic in the neighborhood.

This sixth arrest strengthens the case against the alleged network of assailants operating in the Guédiawaye area. The investigation continues.
