Journalist Mamadou Cissé, known as “Momo Cissé,” was brought before the authorities by the Special Cybercrime Division (DSC) this Friday at 8:00 AM, according to Seneweb sources. He is currently being held at the High Court of Dakar. Cissé’s detention relates to the Nourah Ba case and allegations of spreading false information. He reportedly claimed on a broadcast that Nourah Ba was “insulted and struck” by a plainclothes police officer during her arrest on the Corniche. During questioning, Cissé stated he was “misled by people close to Nourah Ba,” according to Libération. He has reportedly agreed to issue a public apology for his statements, and his appearance in court represents a further development in the legal proceedings. The outcome of the case remains to be seen.
