In its edition of the day, the journal Les Échos, reviewed in detail the arrest of Pape Mbaye, alias Pokola Baldé, brother of Ama Baldé, who was arrested on Tuesday by the police of Pikine. On that day, Pokola was a passenger on a motorcycle driven by a friend. On arriving at the Khelcom Bâches roundabout, the driver stops abruptly in the middle of the road, forcing the driver to descend. Pokola then heads towards an automobile driver with whom he engages in a lively verbal altercation, causing a significant traffic jam. Faced with the situation, an adjudant de police in service to the Dakar Central Traffic Company intervenes by whistling to restore order and incite the motorists to resume their route. However, his injunctions remain without effect. Pokola, visibly enraged, refuses to comply… the adjutant then turns to the driver of the motorcycle and asks for the papers of the vehicle. He who hesitates, what agitates more the fighter. In a fit of rage, Pokola physically assaults the policeman and is captured by the colonel.
