After returning from Canada to accompany his family after the tragic death of his father, Serigne Touré found himself at the heart of a judicial case. His father, Serigne Issa Touré, maître coranique retrouvé sans vie au fond d’un puits à Bambilor (Noflaye), had aroused a lively emotion. But instead of devoting himself to mourning and succession proceedings, the son appeared before the Tribunal des flagrants délits de Pikine-Guédiawaye, in the suburb of Dakar. Shortly after his arrival in Dakar, Serigne Touré, 42 years old, restaurateur in Canada, made a trip to Thiaroye in the company of his cousin Oumar Gackou, 44 years old electromechanician residing in England. Their car, whose windshield had been broken earlier in an accident at the Sicap-Foire, was taken to a mechanic. It is at the turn, at the level of the Thiaroye roundabout, that an agent de police (Asp) is questioned, reports L’Observateur. According to the minutes, the two men had attempted to force the passage in a traffic jam based on the agent.
