A Dakar court unexpectedly acquitted all defendants – actress Ndeye Ndao Thiam (“Nogaye Thiam Bété Bété”), student Aïssatou Goudiaby, businesswoman Fatou Diallo ("Fafa"), and businessmen Sidy Mouhamed and Abou Daffé – in a case stemming from a private party at the Pullman hotel. The initial accusation of a watch theft escalated into suspicion of drug use, complicating the investigation. Sidy Mouhamed testified his watch disappeared from his bag during a party at the Pullman, initially claiming it vanished while in his possession, but later admitting he didn't see Fatou Diallo take it. Fatou Diallo vehemently denied the theft, suggesting the watch was hidden. Despite surveillance footage from the Pullman indicating potential drug consumption among attendees, all defendants refuted both use and supply, with Abou Daffé stating he is a businessman and not involved with drugs. Ultimately, the court found insufficient evidence to convict any of the accused.
