Lawyer at the Court of Dakar, Me Mamadou Papa Samba So breaks the silence and announces lawsuits against Me Dior Diagne who challenged him in a media release on the case Ousmane Sonko-Adji Sarr. “These statements are untruthful. I never wrote Adji Sarr’s complaint. I did not meet with Adji Sarr on this occasion,” the lawyer said, joined by Seneweb on Saturday.
What about the drafting of the complaint? “I argued before you that I never took my pen or touched a keyboard to draft Adji Sarr’s complaint; I solemnly reaffirm this,” he wrote in a letter to the President of the Bar Association (see document), of which Seneweb holds a copy.
Me So, who says to use his right of reply, makes other clarifications to the Bâtonnier. On the reception of Adji Sarr, I argued before you that on February 2, 2021, the day of the facts and February 3 (the date of the filing of the complaint), I was in Ziguinchor and that in doing so I could not receive the lady Adji Sarr; in fact I was in Ziguinchor from January 31, 2021 to February 4, 2021. It is easy to verify that on 1 February I pleaded for interim measures at the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Ziguinchor, on 2 February
Crime of the TGI of Ziguinchor and six others on February 03, 2021 at the TGI of Ziguinchor to the great correctional».
Better: Besides, I had in one of these cases, on the other side, a colleague today constituted for Ousmane Sonko. How in these circumstances I could have drafted the complaint and received at the same time the lady Adji Sarr in Dakar»? , questions the lawyer.
Samba So, however, says: I claimed to have received the lady Adji Sarr fifteen days before and in my office in Dakar and gave her advice. On the day of the events, I did not speak to her and I did not put her in touch with a doctor. Therefore, the sister’s statements are false.”
Following this argument, Me So announces lawsuits against her colleague: «I demand that the complaint of Me Dior Diagne be investigated because I intend to sue her as much for slanderous denunciation as for defamation before the criminal courts», we read in the columns of the document.
