Niacoulrap : Des centaines de branchements frauduleux démantelés, 3 voleurs, dont 2 prestataires de la SENELEC arrêtés
The Keur Massar research brigade has dismantled a vast network of electricity theft to the detriment of SENELEC. The operation, carried out on the night of September 6, 2025, then reinforced the next day by a forceful raid on the ground, made it possible to arrest three suspects, including two contractors of the Senegalese Electricity Company (SENELEC), and to dismantle hundreds of fraudulent connections. Three individuals were taken into custody.
They are A. Diame, 41, an electrician working for SENELEC in Malika; MM Diop, 35, a self-employed electrician; and S. Diallo, 40, a SENELEC agent working for Keur Massar. They are being prosecuted for criminal conspiracy, theft, and electricity fraud, according to Seneweb sources close to the prosecution.
Hundreds of illegal connections discovered
The BR, accompanied by SENELEC agents and a bailiff, discovered an impressive system: electrical cables running along the walls and on the ground, makeshift connections over 100 meters long, without any official meter. Investigators estimate that hundreds of homes were illegally connected to the network, some paying only a flat fee of 7,000 CFA francs per month, regardless of their actual consumption.
Endangering the population
Beyond the considerable financial damage caused to SENELEC and the State, estimated at millions of CFA francs, these illegal connections represented a real public danger. Carried out without any compliance with safety standards, they exposed residents to serious risks of electrocution and fire.
According to the information gathered, two horses have already died because of these anarchic installations.
A large-scale operation
The following Sunday, September 7, between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., the Keur Massar BR, supported by a squadron of the Gendarmerie Intervention Legion (LGI), carried out a large-scale uninstallation operation. Around fifty homes were identified as beneficiaries of these clandestine connections. SENELEC agents removed the cables and fraudulent connections, under the supervision of a bailiff, according to Seneweb sources.
SENELEC service providers involved
The most worrying aspect of this case lies in the involvement of two SENELEC contractors. These agents, who had access to the infrastructure and were intimately familiar with electrical systems, used their professional skills for criminal purposes, thereby betraying their employer's trust.
The three arrested suspects, including two SENELEC contractors, will probably be brought before the Rufisque High Court tomorrow, Tuesday.
The investigation continues to determine the extent of the network and identify possible accomplices.
This raid, following the exploitation of intelligence reporting the existence of an electricity theft network in Niacoulrap, sends a strong signal to fraudsters. It demonstrates the determination of the Dakar LGI, under the command of Colonel Malick Faye, to combat these practices, which penalize the entire community and endanger public safety.

Les fraudes se font à grande échelle certainement, surtout dans les zones où les populations ont du mal à s’en sortir quotidiennement.
Ce gouvernement ne trouve toujours pas de solutions pour les populations Sénégalaises.
Mais il se tourne plutôt sur les règlements de compte, délits d’opinions, récompense pour les participants au projet, recrutements tous azimut, mariage entre eux, ngourou, ngourou, ngourou, en bernant malheureusement une grande partie de la population qui n’à pas le niveau
Tout le monde doit payer sa consommation de courant. Sans cela, le prix du Kilowatt heure ne peut pas être réduit.
Senelec doit multiplier par 2 le nombre de contrôleurs. Il doivent être accompagnés d'un gendarme.
Merci la Senelec
Allez a Rufisque et vous verrez des dignitaires du régime avoir ses installations
Ma conviction est que si les travailleurs rechignent à faire les tâches pour lesquelles ils font vivre leur famille, ce pays n'ira nulle part.
