Ndiaga Seck denies Ousmane Sonko knew of his private life amid controversy

Ndiaga Seck, recently detained, has categorically stated that Ousmane Sonko had no knowledge of his private affairs, including his sexual orientation. His testimony during questioning has reignited debates surrounding the political and social fallout of this highly contentious case.

Fresh developments in the case involving Ndiaga Seck have surfaced after his transfer to police custody in Linguère on Monday. The political figure, aged 51, asserted during his interrogation that Ousmane Sonko was unaware of his personal life, including his sexual orientation. In a statement delivered in Wolof, he emphasized, “Xamul woon li may dund”—a phrase that underscores the depth of Sonko’s alleged ignorance.
