Arrested during the Magal by the gendarmes of the special brigade of Touba, Mamadou Lamine Diao, known as "Modou Lo", persists and signs that he did indeed kill the dancer Aziz Dabala and Boubacar Gano, alias "Waly", all by himself.

In front of the investigators, the mason residing in Guinaw Rail made blood-curdling confidences. "Aziz Dabala invited me several times for an intimate session. But I always answered in the negative", declared Mamadou Lamine Diao during his interrogation.

However, he ended up joining Aziz Dabala in his apartment last Sunday because he had a money problem. "My mother had a prescription for 50,000 CFA francs. Aziz gave me the transport costs so that I could sleep with him. By going to his place, I had no intention of killing him", confessed the alleged murderer.

Once in the apartment, he threatened Aziz Dabala with a knife so that he would give him money. "I refused to have unnatural relations with him. I told Aziz that if he did not give me money, I would vilify him. I brandished my knife to threaten him. Finally, I killed Aziz before joining his nephew Boubacar Gano alias 'Waly' in his room", confesses the alleged murderer born in 1999. "I surprised Aziz's nephew had put headphones on his ears. I let Boubacar Gano alias 'Waly' know that he is a homosexual before killing him", he continues.

In front of the police, Mamadou Lamine Diao declared that he has no regrets, because he killed two homosexuals. He says he takes responsibility for his act on the official report, according to Seneweb sources.

The alleged murderer claims to have thrown Aziz Dabala's phone into a canal, before selling his nephew's for 75,000 CFA francs at the Ocass market ("Réseau ba").

The surprising discovery of the police in Dabala's apartment

Informed of the double tragedy, officers of the Pikine police station deployed to the Technopole to carry out the report. In the apartment, the police found that Dabala's body was covered with a sheet, the doors of the bedrooms and the kitchen were locked. This directed the investigation towards the relatives of the deceased dancer. Also, the sleuths discovered lubricants, Indian hemp residues, etc. in Aziz's apartment.

What the results of the telephone requisitions reveal

The results of the telephone requisitions attested that the alleged murderer communicated frequently with Aziz Dabala and that he was the main suspect in this double murder. The incriminated mason had turned off his phone to avoid being located. But he made the mistake of inserting his chip into Waly's cell phone.

On Wednesday, August 21, 2024, Mamadou Lamine Diao, known as "Modou Lo", accompanied by his paternal uncle Ousseynou Diao, went to the Grand Magal of Touba. "Mamadou Lamine Diao had confided the secret to his paternal uncle in Dakar. Once in Touba, Ousseynou denounced his nephew to the police, to avoid being killed by Mamadou. The police of the special brigade of the religious city then arrested the alleged perpetrator of the double murder," confided our interlocutor.

Ousseynou Diao was arrested yesterday in Touba by the DIC and then transported to Dakar along with his nephew Mamadou Lamine Diao. The alleged perpetrator of the double murder is a repeat offender. He was brought before the Guinaw Rails police.
