The future candidate for mayor of Ziguinchor has been built on his fate since last Monday. Soumaïla Manga since it is about him, had the chance of his life when the verdict was delivered between him and the daughter of the late Lassana Mendés. The court did not follow the indictment of the prosecutor who had requested a prison sentence of six months, against the defendant. Funny thing, the court declared inadmissible the constitution of civil party. The defense provided by Me Omar Gueye had pleaded the release and subsidiarily the leniency of the court.
Previously, Me Pape Mor Niang, lawyer for the civil party broke the defendant by dismantling the diabolical plan of Soumaïla Manga. ” He went to Guinea Bissau to make false papers. On his return he seized the real estate of the late Lassana Mendés, who died in France since January 2, 2013. While the deceased left as potential heirs, his daughter named Aramata Mendés and his brother and sister Mandou and Maimouna Mendy (…) For years, the defendant took advantage of the real estate of the real heirs, which is why I am asking for damages for the sum of 50 million FCFA for all causes of damage combined. He maintained at the bar.
When the verdict was delivered, the lawyer for the civil party argued that he will appeal the decision. As a reminder, Soumaïla Manga is a very popular public figure in Ziguinchor, known for his virulent outings against the current mayor, Abdoulaye Baldé, especially in social networks. Prosecuted for the offenses of fraud, forgery and use of forgery, the defendant had been on the run for two years but thanks to the diligence of the elements of the Research Section, he was confused thanks to the tracing of his cell phone.
The late Lassana Mendés, who died in France since January 2, 2013, left as potential heirs, his daughter named Ramata Mendés and his full brother and sister Mandou and Maimouna Mendy. He had left movable and immovable property such as the villa located at the Parcelles Assainies currently occupied by the respondent and tenants. Sieur Soumaïla Manga is not the closest relative of the deceased. He illustrated himself in an illegal way to appropriate the inheritance of the deceased.
Indeed, he had false judgments and other administrative decisions made to claim to be the legal representative of the daughter Aramata Mendés. With his false papers, he got hold of some of the deceased’s property, including his bank accounts and other movable property. More seriously, he rented out the building in question and unduly receives the rent without reporting to anyone and without giving it to even the only daughter of the deceased.
These facts have caused and continue to cause serious harm to the complainants. For all answers, the defendant reaffirmed that this is only a plot orchestrated by Maïmouna Mendes. ” On the death of the late Lassana Mendes, his concubine Cesaltina Mendes Moreira authorized me in 2013 to take the necessary steps to proceed with the declaration of his daughter. The same year, I succeeded in having him establish a birth certificate at the Samine civil status center. Since he was an illegitimate child, the late Lassana Mendes concealed this from the family and even the complainant was not aware of the existence of this child. »He defended himself at the hearing reported by the newspaper Le Témoin.
