Etudiant mort après l'explosion d'une moto à l'UCAD : Tout savoir sur les circonstances du drame
A tragedy occurred Thursday morning at Cheikh Anta Diop University of Dakar (UCAD). An electric motorcycle explosion caused panic in Pavilion A, resulting in a scene of confusion and despair among the students.
According to Seneweb sources, it all started with the explosion of an electric motorcycle plugged into the lobby of Pavilion A, directly opposite the entrance to the central restaurant. Panicked by the explosion, 22-year-old EM Niang, a third-year student in the Arabic department of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities (FLSH), tried to rush down the building.
Unfortunately, he tripped and fell from the second floor. He reportedly succumbed to his injuries during his evacuation to Dakar's Principal Hospital.
Fearing the building might collapse, two other students jumped from the first floor in the confusion. They were injured but their lives are not believed to be in danger. They are currently being treated at the UCAD medical center.
Alerted, officers from the Point E district police station, led by Commissioner Sow, quickly arrived at the scene with a team from the Directorate of Technical and Scientific Police (DPTS). There, investigators discovered two completely burned-out electric motorcycles. These vehicles, belonging to EP Sène (a second-year student at the Faculty of Sciences) and A. Sow (a first-year Master's student in English), were plugged into the same power outlet.
When questioned briefly, the owners explained that they usually recharged their motorcycles on site. These battery-powered motorcycles, commonly known as "Chinese motorcycles," are widely used by students for transportation.
Initial technical findings reveal that the electrical outlet used could not simultaneously handle the load of both motorcycles, as it lacked a voltage regulator. This overload is believed to have caused a short circuit, leading to the explosion.
Security at the University Works Centre of Dakar (COUD) has stated that it has repeatedly prohibited this type of connection, sometimes even impounding certain motorcycles.
The police investigation concluded before 11:00 AM without incident. A request for an autopsy has been issued for the body of the deceased student, EM Niang. The prosecutor has been informed of the facts.

La pagaille est partout
Oui, et les étudiants (même ceux de la fac sciences) ne sont pas les plus futés, comme on pourrait le croire. On a plus de cerveau dans ce pays, on ne réfléchit plus, on branche n'importe quoi n'importe où
Apparemment à la place des sapeurs-pompiers c'est des policiers qui sont appelés. Les policiers au lieu de voir les blessés se sont occupés des motos et prises électriques. Xalass.
"Cette surcharge aurait provoqué un court-circuit" ! NON surintensité !
L’université est quand meme responsable car ils auraient pu anticiper et fixer ces prises. On est en 2025. Tristes etudiants!!!
miséricorde sur lui
Mais l ucad on y retrouve les plus instruits de la société sénégalaise. L administration a pris des mesures d interdiction du branchement de ces motos poubelle
Un étudiant supposé intelligent vient brancher sa moto violant exprès l’interdiction
C’est une malédiction ou un trucage de l esprit
Ne confondez pas l'ucad et le coud c'est deux entités différentes. C'est le coud qui gère le campus social lieu de survenance du drame. Que son âme repose en paix.
Le lithium est tres instable. Risque eleve d'explosion . Ne jamais laisser en charge sans surveillance.
Ces vélos électriques sont d’un danger incalculable. Ces vélos ont fait plusieurs morts il y’a 3 ans â New York. Ce n’est pas la prise qui ne supporte pas plusieurs branchements, mais les batteries explosent dés qu’elles sont surchargées. Il est préférable de les charger à 90% pour ne pas prendre de risque. Quand elles prennent feu ces batteries sont extrêmement difficiles à éteindre . Propriétaires de tout ce qui électriques , moto , vélo, scooter respectez ces consignes pour sauver des vies SVP merçi.
