Tribunal de Thiès : 2 ans ferme requis contre un commerçant poursuivi pour vol portant sur 14 millions F CFA

Trader Mr. Djité is being prosecuted for theft and destruction of property belonging to others. He is accused by fellow trader K. Dioum, who alleges that he broke into his kiosk, destroyed his merchandise, and stole 14 million CFA francs.

After buying a shop in the Thiès market, Mr. Djité allegedly asked K. Dioum to move his canteen, which was attached to his wall, in order to carry out renovation work, which the latter refused.

Following this, Mr. Djité allegedly waited until nightfall to dismantle the canteen. When the security guard, Mr. Sow, intervened, the defendant allegedly led him to believe that he had received authorization from the owner, B. Dioum.

The next day, B. Dioum was surprised to find his canteen in tatters. He then contacted the security guard, who revealed that Mr. Djité was responsible.

Faced with this situation, K. Dioum hired a bailiff to document the damage, before filing a complaint with the police for destruction of construction and theft of 14 million CFA francs, as well as land papers which he claims to have left in his canteen.

The suspect was arrested, charged, and then remanded in custody.

In the dock of the Thiès High Court, Mr. Djité denied the facts, maintaining that he had only moved a table that was in front of his store.

The security guard, Mr. Sow, for his part, stated that when Mr. Djité, accompanied by another man, came to the scene, he told him he wanted to move the canteen in order to create a second door.

The lawyer for the plaintiff, Mr. [name not specified], claimed the sum of 20 million CFA francs as compensation.

Believing that the defendant is guilty of the acts with which he is charged, the public prosecutor has requested a 2-year prison sentence.

    Un très grand bravo et félicitations au gouverneur, au préfet, au maire de Thiès Nord bref a tous les autorités de la ville de Thiès pour le désencombrement du marché central. Nous circulons, nous respirons, nous faisons nos achats comme il se doit dans le marché. Même les commerçants se félicite de cette situation. Merci mille fois.
