Ziguinchor : un présumé voleur de porcs lynché par des jeunes à Lyndiane

On the night of August 9-10, 2025, L. Sané, a young man caught red-handed stealing pigs in the Lyndiane neighborhood of Ziguinchor, was violently lynched by a group of youths. The incident, which occurred around 4 a.m., left the victim covered in blood and with multiple head and facial injuries, as evidenced by videos received by our editorial staff.

Since pig thefts are common in this outlying neighborhood, the youth of Lyndiane set up a surveillance system to put an end to them. This strategy paid off on the night of Saturday to Sunday, when a group of thieves was spotted. Only L. Sané was apprehended, his accomplices having fled. Beaten all night, he was tied up until the early hours, filmed, and released in full view of the residents.

According to local youth, thieves use tobacco leaves mixed with pig feed to muffle their cries, making them easier to capture. This well-known practice fuels frustration among residents, who have decided not to let this happen any longer.

This lynching follows other similar cases in Ziguinchor. In February 2025, Zakaria Sagna, suspected of theft, succumbed to his injuries after being beaten in the Castors neighborhood. These incidents highlight the dangers of mob justice, as local authorities call for restraint.
