Hann Maristes : Un Guinéen arrêté pour vol de chaussures à la mosquée en pleine prière
A Guinean merchant residing in Grand-Yoff, MD Sylla was brought before the Dakar court this Friday for stealing shoes from worshippers during religious services.
A particularly shocking crime has just been solved by the Hann Maristes gendarmerie's local police brigade. The arrest of a man who was taking advantage of prayer times to commit his thefts has put an end to a series of thefts that had been exasperating the local religious community.
Caught red-handed during prayer
The dramatic arrest took place last Wednesday in the heart of the Hann Maristes mosque. A worshipper who arrived late for prayers was surprised to discover Mr. Sylla, a Guinean national working in commerce, methodically picking up shoes left by worshippers at the entrance to the place of worship, according to Seneweb sources.
The scene, as incredible as it is outrageous, shows the suspect carefully selecting the shoes to slip into his bag, taking advantage of the fact that the owners were absorbed in their religious devotions.
A well-oiled stratagem
This arrest in flagrante delicto revealed the extent of the harm caused to the community of worshippers. According to the mosque's imam, this criminal practice has been going on for "a very long time," regularly provoking outrage among believers who are victims of these repeated thefts.
The systematic nature of these thefts suggests a perfect knowledge of the mosque's habits and the appropriate times to act discreetly, while the faithful were focused on their spiritual obligations.
Damning video evidence
The gendarmes' investigation benefited from a decisive piece of evidence: the existence of video recordings of the place of worship. These images, described as "very illustrative" by judicial sources, irrefutably establish MD Sylla's guilt.
These videos demonstrate that the merchant residing in Grand-Yoff was indeed "the perpetrator of all these thefts" that disrupted the peace of this place of worship. They constitute a solid case that should facilitate legal proceedings.
Beyond the material aspect, this type of theft takes on a particularly shocking dimension because it desecrates a sacred place and exploits the vulnerability of believers in the exercise of their faith. The repetitive nature of these acts further aggravates the seriousness of the defendant's behavior.
Referral and legal proceedings
MD Sylla was brought before the Dakar High Court this Friday, where he will face charges of theft from a place of worship. This specific criminal charge reflects the particular seriousness the law attaches to offenses committed in sacred places.
The effective intervention of the Hann Marist brigade not only put an end to these actions but should also reassure the community of the faithful who can now carry out their religious obligations in complete peace.

Ce type d'article pose de sérieux problèmes de cohésion sociale du fait que beaucoup de peulh-Fouta sont des sénégalais avec des papiers en règle et certains ne connaissent même pas la Guinée.
C 'est comme ces irresponsables qui, par haine de M. Sonko, s'attaquent aux diolas et s'amusent à les traiter de rebelles alors que le MFDC actuel compte dans ses rangs des wolofs, peuls, sérères.... ce qui fait dire qu'il ne s'agit plus de rebellion mais de gangs de pillards.
Il y'a de fortes chances que ça soit la même personne.
