BR de Keur Massar : Un commerçant arrêté pour une escroquerie foncière de 270 millions F CFA
A major land fraud case has just been solved by the Keur Massar investigation unit (BR). This case, which involved a colossal sum of 270 million CFA francs, illustrates the dangers facing investors in the Senegalese real estate sector.
On August 12, 2025, the commander of the Keur Massar BR received a notification from the Pikine-Guédiawaye prosecutor, who ordered the investigation and arrest of the trader Mr. Fall, the subject of a complaint for fraud. Yesterday, Wednesday, the gendarmes arrested the suspect.
A fraudulent real estate transaction
At the heart of this scam is the transfer of lease rights to a property complex consisting of two shops and a terrace, all located in a building in Keur Massar. Mr. Fall had presented this transaction as a 32-year lease for the astronomical sum of 270 million CFA francs.
The victim, businessman Mr. Gaye, had accepted this investment proposal, attracted by the duration of the lease which guaranteed the profitability of his investment in the long term.
A late but decisive discovery
It was only after six months of operating the premises that Mr. Gaye discovered the extent of the deception he had been subjected to. Upon checking the original documents, he realized that Mr. Fall actually only had an occupancy right of 18 years, 14 years less than what had been agreed.
This discovery radically transforms the nature of the investment and considerably reduces its value, justifying the feeling of dispossession of the victim who had paid the high price for a much longer period.
Confronted with his actions during his arrest, Mr. Fall attempted to minimize his responsibility by claiming a "calculation error." He hid behind his alleged illiteracy, claiming to have signed the protocol with his landlord without understanding its contents.
This defense seems implausible given the sums involved and the complexity of the operation. Investigators consider that these explanations are not sufficient to justify such a difference between reality and what was sold.
This is how Mr. Fall, 47, was taken into custody for land fraud, according to Seneweb sources close to the court. The seriousness of the offense, evidenced by the loss of 270 million CFA francs, exposes the trader to heavy criminal penalties.
He is expected to appear before the Pikine-Guédiawaye High Court this Friday.

le vrai probleme c est le droit d occupation de 18ans. comment c est possible. les droits fonciers doivent etre revus dans ce pays. anarchie totale on sait qui arrange ceux qui doivent reguler
Lorsqu'on investi des dizaines de millions, on passe et signe devant un Notaire. Ce dernier fait les vérifications nécessaires sur le bien avant la transaction.
Et si c'était un Peul Sénégalais ou un Ndring!!!! On allait voir cet article rempli d'injures. Mais c'est un Fall soi disant pure souche sénégalaise. Au fait savez vous qu'il ya de nombreux Maliens Bambara qui ont adopter les noms wolofs comme Diop, Gueye, Fall... ?
Cette haine des fulbés sur les réseaux sociaux est une instrumentalisation de groupes puissantes pour brûler une partie de l'Afrique, avant en Afrique c'était les ethnies du nord majoritairement musulmans contre les ethnies du sud majoritairement chrétiens, après ils se sont attaqués aux musulmans les traitants de terroristes maintenant c'est au tour des fulbés , Ces gens reçoivent des récompenses en échanges de leurs insultes, c'est un programme pour brûler notre pays avec la complicité de nos médias
Ce pays est constitué en majorité de voleurs, truands, arnaqueurs c’est désolant les gens cherchent toujours la facilité et à faire mal aux autres ce n’est pas comme ça qu’on va se développer.
