Ndiaga Seck denies Ousmane Sonko knew about his private life

During his testimony before investigators, prominent Senegalese politician Ndiaga Seck made a bold statement about his relationship with Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, addressing rumors surrounding his personal life.

In a clear declaration, Mr. Seck asserted, « Xamul woon li may dund »—a Wolof phrase meaning « He knew nothing about my private affairs ». His remarks were a direct response to questions about his sexual orientation and lifestyle choices.

Legal proceedings and allegations

Following his mandatory detention in Louga, the case has escalated to the investigating judge’s chamber. The inquiry, initiated by the urban police station in Linguère, centers on alleged « unnatural acts », a charge that has drawn significant attention.

Ndiaga Seck, 51, was formally charged and remanded in custody by the investigating judge at the Louga Regional Court after being transferred from the Linguère Urban Commissariat. His legal team continues to navigate the complexities of this high-profile case.

The unfolding developments have sparked discussions across Senegal about governance, societal norms, and the intersection of personal freedom and public accountability.
