Gambiaj.com – (DAKAR, Senegal) – In a significant development in the Ndiaga Diouf case, Barthélémy Dias has fulfilled the court-ordered payment of damages to the victim’s family. The payment of 25 million CFA francs, mandated by judicial decision, was confirmed by Dias’s legal team through a cheque delivered to the family’s lawyer.

This financial obligation was met through the assistance of Dias’s sister, as the Dakar Mayor faced financial constraints that made personal payment unfeasible. The family’s gesture highlights a profound act of solidarity during a period of intense personal and political pressure for the embattled mayor.

In a statement, Dias reiterated his steadfast commitment to pursuing justice, transparency, and truth, emphasizing his resilience despite mounting challenges. He extended heartfelt gratitude to supporters who have stood by him through what he described as “difficult times.”

Pape Konaré Diaité, Dias’s communications officer, underscored the significance of this gesture as a testament to the mayor’s enduring dignity and determination.

This case remains a focal point in Senegalese public discourse, underscoring broader themes of accountability and justice in the nation’s evolving political landscape.
