Vélingara : Un élève tué lors de la sortie du Kankourang, le meurtrier arrêté en Gambie
A fatal brawl during a Kankourang ceremony has claimed the life of a 19-year-old youth. The suspect, who fled to Gambia, was arrested by Gambian police.
On the night of Friday, September 13, 2025, at around 11:05 p.m., an altercation turned tragic in Vélingara. Amadou Sirifo Sy, a 19-year-old student, was fatally stabbed during a traditional ceremony marking the exit of Kankourang.
The victim succumbed to his injuries at the scene, turning what was supposed to be a festive evening into a tragedy for his family and the local community.
The gendarmerie quickly identified the alleged perpetrator of this murder. According to Seneweb sources, he was Mr. Diallo, 22, a painter. Aware of the seriousness of his actions, the suspect fled immediately after the incident, crossing the border to seek refuge in neighboring Gambia.
Effective cross-border cooperation
Faced with this leak, the commander of the Vélingara territorial gendarmerie brigade immediately activated his international cooperation networks. Thanks to the excellent working relationship maintained with the Gambian police force, precise information was transmitted from the night of the tragedy.
This cross-border collaboration has borne fruit: Mr. Diallo was arrested by the police in Bassé, in Gambian territory, putting an end to his escape, which lasted only a few hours.
Currently, the Senegalese and Gambian authorities are continuing the administrative and legal procedures necessary for the transfer of the suspect to the Vélingara gendarmerie.
