The city of Ngaparou, in the Mbour department, was the scene of a serious drama in the night of Saturday to Sunday. Seyni Mane, a native of Tambacoumba in the south of the country, received a brick blow to the head following an altercation. The victim, aged 27, originally from Tambacoumba (Ziguinchor), married and father of two children, succumbed to his injuries during his evacuation to the clinic Urgence 24 de Saly-Portudal. The accused, who continues to deny any involvement, was himself wounded under the left ear by a machete carried by the Kankourang. Unusually, the Kankourang was isolated from its Selbés, the traditional companions charged with its protection. Informed, the elements of the Brigade de Gendarmerie de Proximité de Ngaparou are quickly intervened, and the police are called in. They managed to remove the suspect from his family home, where an angry crowd threatened to seek justice and avenge the Kankourang. According to the information, the locality registered two murders in less than 72 hours. Pour rappelle cet évènement douloureux intervient suite à l’arrêté préfectoral du 28 août 2025, inviting the responsible to watch over the maintenance of order and tranquillity during the entire demonstration and that the routes of the kankourang must be communicated to the police 72 hours in advance.
