Forum du Justiciable rejects claims tying Ousmane Sonko to Ndiaga Seck’s arrest

Babacar Ba, Chair of the Forum du Justiciable, has firmly dismissed insinuations linking Senegal’s Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko to the case of Ndiaga Seck, who was detained on alleged unnatural acts. Ba’s statement underscores growing concerns over judicial ethics in high-profile cases.

The Forum’s president emphasized that any effort to associate Sonko with Seck’s arrest constitutes an attempt to undermine the Prime Minister’s credibility. In an official communiqué, Ba argued that as head of government, Sonko represents Senegal’s institutional authority, and such tactics violate the principles of the rule of law.

Ba’s remarks come amid heightened public debate surrounding the Ndiaga Seck case, which continues to generate widespread commentary. The Forum du Justiciable insists that no legitimate grounds exist to justify linking the Prime Minister’s reputation to the legal proceedings against Seck, stressing that ethical boundaries must be upheld in judicial discourse.

The statement reflects broader tensions over how sensitive legal matters are framed in Senegal’s political landscape. By rejecting these associations, the Forum du Justiciable signals its commitment to protecting institutional integrity and preventing the politicization of justice.
