However, the security arrangements had been meticulously planned. Strictly separate routes had been assigned to the two groups: the National Highway and the Senegal 92 bridge for AS Pikine supporters, and the VDN 3 and the Roundabout 26 for GFC supporters. Furthermore, a police escort was maintained as far as the Unit 15, Golf, and Technopole areas to prevent any contact between the two rival groups, according to a statement from the national police sent to Seneweb.
Despite these precautions, around 7:00 p.m., supporters caused disorder on the return route, in the Stadium — Roundabout 26 axis. Sporadic stone throwing damaged a private parking lot and a hardware store, broke shop windows and damaged five vehicles, one of which had its rear windshield completely shattered.
The victims went to the district police station of Parcelles Assainies to file their statements, according to Commissioner Mamadou Diouf, head of the Communication and Public Relations Division.
CCTV footage and amateur videos helped identify the modus operandi: young individuals blended into the crowd to escape law enforcement before throwing projectiles.
The National Police have announced the opening of an investigation to identify and prosecute the perpetrators of these acts before the judicial authorities.
