Escroquerie et traite humaine : Séquestrés et affamés dans une maison, 13 jeunes libérés d'un réseau Qnet
The territorial brigade of Sébikotane has put an end to the activities of a suspected human trafficking and fraud network linked to the Qnet system, installed in the Tangor district.
The case dates back to March 7, 2026, when the gendarmes arrested three individuals living in a house they had rented in the neighborhood. They are KS Judichael, an Ivorian national, M. Bamba, a Guinean national, and B. Diakité, a Malian.
The accused are suspected of having set up a network aimed at recruiting young people by promising them lucrative jobs as well as travel opportunities to Europe, according to Seneweb sources.
According to initial findings of the investigation, the suspects used Facebook to attract young people from diverse backgrounds. Once there, these individuals were forced to join a pyramid scheme linked to Qnet and, in turn, recruit other victims.
In total, 13 young people were reportedly lured into this trap. The victims claim to have suffered mistreatment, including limited food, confiscation of their documents, and constant pressure to extort money from their families or recruit new members. Through this scheme, the organizers allegedly managed to collect 7,120,000 CFA francs from the recruits.
The case came to light when A. Richard, one of the victims, managed to escape and go to the Sébikotane territorial brigade to alert the gendarmes. Informed of the situation, the gendarmes immediately went to the scene, freeing the detained youths and arresting the suspected perpetrators.
Placed in police custody, the three suspects are being prosecuted for criminal association, human trafficking, kidnapping for more than ten days and pyramid selling.
Following their custody, KS Judichael, M. Bamba and B. Diakité were brought before the High Court of Rufisque on March 10, 2026.
