Opposition leader and Senegalese presidential candidate Ousmane Sonko said he was “kidnapped” by law enforcement forces and called for massive demonstrations against the government of President Macky Sall just days before sentencing for the alleged violation.
“Once in Dakar I was kidnapped (…). In the name of what a citizen who does not have a prison term or house arrest can end up with a whole army not only in my house, but in the whole area, worries my neighbors in the morning. The whole area breathing tear gas,” Sonko said early in the morning in a video posted on his social media.
The opposition leader made the announcement after Senegalese military police escorted him back to his home in the capital on Sunday after security forces prevented a march launched by Sonko on Friday from the south of the country to Dakar in which a demonstrator was killed by “fire “. “.
