L'acteur Moda Thioune de "Baabel" arrêté : les graves infractions qui l'envoient en prison
Senegalese actor El Hadj Moda Thioune, best known for his role in the series Baabel, was remanded in custody on Monday, August 11, 2025. He is being prosecuted for hit and run, refusal to comply, and endangering the lives of others.
According to L'Observateur, which reported the incident, the incident took place Sunday morning at the Brioche Dorée roundabout in Zac-Mbao during a traffic stop. Instead of showing his papers, the daily newspaper of the Future Media Group reports, El Hadj Moda fled, triggering a chase through several neighborhoods. Despite police barriers, he persisted, endangering his passenger and passersby before his vehicle got stuck in Rufisque.
Replied by the newspaper, the actor admitted the facts during his arrest and explained that he fled out of fear, as he had no driver's license, registration document, or insurance. His relatives later produced his license, but the offenses were already established.
A precedent: the Sidy Diop affair
This case is reminiscent of that of singer Sidy Diop, arrested in August 2024 for driving without a license and with expired insurance. He was remanded in custody before being acquitted of using forged documents, but sentenced to a fine of 150,000 CFA francs for not having a license. The court gave the benefit of the doubt regarding the forgery.
El Hadj Moda Thioune will be tried on August 20 before the Dakar High Court, concludes L'Observateur.
