Nioro du Rip : une attaque à main armée déjouée après un échange de tirs avec la gendarmerie
The town of Dinguiraye, located 15 km from Nioro du Rip, was the scene of a violent attempted robbery on the night of Thursday 7 to Friday 8 May 2026. Thanks to the quick response of the security forces, the assailants were routed without being able to take any loot.
The alarm was raised by the security guard who, demonstrating remarkable composure, managed to escape and alert the gendarmerie. The officers immediately arrived on the scene, catching the perpetrators in the act.
Upon the arrival of the gendarmes, an intense exchange of gunfire erupted. Cornered by the response of the defense and security forces, the criminals finally fled. In their hasty escape, they failed to steal a single penny.
On-site investigations indicate that at least one of the assailants was wounded by gunfire. Traces of blood were found behind the peanut warehouse owned by Chinese traders. According to initial findings, the individuals headed towards the border with The Gambia.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported among the gendarmerie. A search operation is currently underway in the border area to find the fugitives.
