Actions Taken
The Colobane research unit brought columnist Abdou Nguer before the Dakar court this morning. He had been taken into custody following his summons to the gendarmerie.
Abdou Nguer had publicly contested the public prosecutor's statement regarding the death of student Abdoulaye Ba at Cheikh Anta Diop University of Dakar (UCAD). He is being prosecuted for spreading false news.
The fate of the Sen TV commentator is now in the hands of the public prosecutor.
