Adji Sarr, who accuses Ousmane Sonko of rape, spoke Wednesday night, March 17, in front of some select media. The young woman, who worked in a massage parlor in Dakar, publicly confirms that the Senegalese opponent would have forced her into repeated intercourse. Ousmane Sonko was indicted and placed under judicial supervision in this case. A case that was the trigger for violent protests in the country. In his statement, the complainant denies the conspiracy theory.
as reported from Dakar, Charlotte Idrac
She had been silent since her complaint mod Ousmane Sonko filed with the gendarmerie in early February. In this lengthy statement in Wolof, Adji Sarr reiterates his accusations of “rape with threats” against the opponent. She tells in detail her visits to the massage parlor.
“If he has never had sex with me, all he has to do is swear on the Holy Quran,” she said. In that case, the young woman says she is ready to withdraw her complaint. Ousmane Sonko had admitted to having visited this massage parlor “for back problems”, but condemned a plot to curb his political ambitions.
“Finally tell the truth”
According to Me El Hadj Diouf, one of the plaintiff’s lawyers, it was time for her to give her version of the facts: “When Sonko made several press conferences to talk about the case, she comes out to answer. With all that was said, so well in the National Assembly, at the level of the political parties that supported Sonko without knowing what was really going on, it was she who was waiting for all these lies to pass to come and tell the ultimate truth. “
A statement organized discreetly, “for security reasons,” explains Me El Hadj Diouf. His other lawyer, Me Abdou Dialy Kane, simply stresses that the investigation is ongoing. No date has been announced for a new summons in this case.
