Un groupe de jeunes, dont 6 filles et 2 garçons, a comparu hier au tribunal des flagrants délits de Dakar pour des faits d’usage de drogue
A group of young people, including six girls and two boys, appeared yesterday before the Dakar court for flagrant offenses on drug charges. They were arrested in an apartment in Ouakam last week. However, the case was adjourned following new developments in the file.
In this story, on April 9, 2026, the Dakar Research Brigade received an anonymous tip reporting the presence of several women and men in an apartment in Ouakam, where they were engaging in sexual acts and drug use.
The gendarmes conducted a search at the "Chez Badji" building, as reported by the source. On the 6th floor, they found the young women FD Camara (23 years old, shopkeeper), NK Aidara (18 years old, shopkeeper), LA Boughaleb (21 years old, trainee), E. Koundé (23 years old, restaurant owner), M. Fall (22 years old, model), and K. Gaye (22 years old, shopkeeper), as well as the young men I. Diagne (31 years old, artist) and M. Ndao (27 years old, engineer and CEO of a company). Some were intoxicated, and they come from various cities in Senegal.
A bottle of laughing gas (nitrous oxide), metal cartridges, hashish residue and a vibrator-type device were discovered in the apartment.
Arrested and taken to the Brigade, the accused all mentioned an invitation among friends.
When questioned, NK Aidara stated that she went to the location at the invitation of F. Camara, who had come from Saint-Louis. "She was supposed to be going home, so I came to see her," she said, specifying that she had only known Camara for two months. M. Fall, a model, offered the same defense, claiming she had been invited by her boyfriend, I. Diagne: "We hadn't seen each other in a while." She maintained that she had not taken any drugs and did not even know where the balloons came from.
I. Diagne, for his part, claims he only came to accompany his girlfriend. He denies any involvement in the use of the gas: "I was in a room, I wasn't one of those using the balloons."
The central role of F. Camara
FD Camara, the tenant of the furnished apartment, acknowledged renting the premises for her stays in Dakar, citing business reasons. She specified that she shares it with her friend Cherifa. She pays 40,000 CFA francs per day. Camara admitted that several people come to the apartment at Cherifa's invitation.
Regarding drug use, she makes a confession: "We all expressed a desire to use balloons. LA Boughaleb told us that she knew a seller at 50,000. I then contacted my boyfriend to send me 40,000 for the purchase," the young girl admits.
However, her boyfriend disputed her version of events. When questioned, Mr. Ndao categorically denied the allegations. He claimed he had simply come to visit her and insisted he had neither bought nor consumed any drugs that day. But he admitted to having used them abroad before.
Conversely, LA Boughaleb presents a damning version of events. She claims to have participated in finding the supplier. She states that F. Camara borrowed 40,000 FCFA to pay for the balloons, with a promise of reimbursement from his friend Ndao, which was subsequently fulfilled. She goes further: "Everyone present used the balloons, except E. Koundé and M. Fall," she says.
During her interrogation, E. Koundé maintains that she was asleep at the time of the events and says she knows nothing about drug use.
Miss K. Gaye says she came from Mbour. She claims she simply responded to an invitation without being informed of the nature of the meeting.
Regarding the hashish residue, the statements become even more confused. Boughaleb points to two individuals who fled before the arrival of the gendarmes, a version confirmed by the others.
At the end of the investigation, the two young girls, E. Koundé and M. Fall, were released with regard to drug use.
Based on suspicions of unnatural acts, investigators conducted technical analyses of the seized cell phones. The results are expected to be presented to the public prosecutor. The group was brought before the prosecutor's office on April 13th on charges of criminal conspiracy, drug use, and possession.
All remanded in custody on the same day, their case was heard yesterday in the Magistrates' Court for possession and use of drugs. But the trial was ultimately postponed. The public prosecutor presented new evidence from the case, obtained through the analysis of the phones. What was discovered on the cell phones? The answer is expected at the hearing on April 22.
