Sénégal : L'actrice Bigué Diop inculpée pour vol et « actes contre nature »
The Senegalese media scene is rocked by the Bigué Diop affair, famous for her role as "Mame Dior" in the series Bété Bété . The 32-year-old actress is facing two legal proceedings after a summons took an unexpected turn.
Initially, Bigué Diop went to the gendarmerie on March 26, 2026, to file a defamation complaint following TikTok videos accusing her of theft. However, the investigation quickly turned against her.
On April 2, 2026, the actress was formally charged in two separate cases:
| Charge | Safety measure |
| Theft, criminal conspiracy and money laundering | Judicial supervision |
| "Acts against nature" (alleged homosexuality) | Electronic monitoring (bracelet) |
The actress's lawyer, Ousseynou Ngom , strongly contests the validity of the evidence. According to him, the use of the mobile phone data was carried out in violation of the 2008 cybersecurity law.
"We will appeal to the indictment chamber to obtain the annulment of these irregular elements," he stated, rejecting all the charges against his client.
This arrest comes amid a climate of increased repression in Senegal. It occurs just weeks after a large-scale police operation that led to the arrest of more than forty people for similar reasons in early March 2026, raising concerns among human rights organizations.
