Senegalese national dies during anti-drug operation in Gambia
A Senegalese national, Kalidou Diallo, known as "L'Homme de Ziguinchor" on social media, died in Kerr Sering, Gambia, on the night of Saturday, August 15, 2026. Diallo reportedly fell from the second floor of a building during an intervention by agents of the Drug Law Enforcement Agency of The Gambia DLEAG. The incident occurred during a raid by the DLEAG on a residence in the municipality of Kanifing, based on intelligence regarding potential drug trafficking activities. According to The Point, two Senegalese individuals were in the targeted apartment during the operation. A search reportedly uncovered four packages of suspected "skunk" cannabis hidden in a wardrobe. One of the occupants allegedly attempted to escape via the balcony before falling fatally. He was rushed to Kanifing General Hospital, where medical staff declared him dead.
