Our source said his arrest followed his recent pronouncements on WhatsApp allegedly attacking Muslim clerics.

Saidy’s alleged attacks against the religious community had prompted the swift reaction of Imam Ba-kawsu Fofona, who threatened to kill him if he does not stop insulting.

Our police source said Imam Ba-Kawsu Fofana too would be arrested if he steps foot in the country. Fofana is reported to be currently in Casamance, Senegal.
