Scandale foncier présumé : Cheikh Kanté et son avocat face à la presse ce vendredi
Targeted by a wide-ranging investigation for illegal land occupation and forgery of public documents, former minister and ex-director general of the Autonomous Port of Dakar, Cheikh Kanté, has decided to counterattack. Accompanied by his lawyer, he will hold a press conference this Friday, January 16, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., in front of the Dakar Central Police Station, home to the Urban Security Division.
The case, revealed by the daily newspaper L'Observateur, concerns a complaint filed by the heirs of the late Mamadou Diagne regarding the alleged misappropriation of several hectares of land along the Rufisque road and in Grand-Dakar. The plaintiffs denounce the land grabbing through fraudulently obtained land titles. In addition to Cheikh Kanté, other prominent figures such as Abdoulaye Dia (Senico) and Serigne Mboup (Mayor of Kaolack) are also targeted by this legal action.
Firmly contesting these accusations of dispossession, Cheikh Kanté claims to have acquired this land in accordance with the rules of the art "on July 25, 2015 before a Notary".
