Actress Ndèye Thiam, known as ‘Nogaye’ from the series ‘Bété Bété’, was initially detained by the Thiong gendarmerie following a private party at the Pullman Hotel. The investigation was triggered by a complaint regarding the theft of a Rolex watch valued at approximately 10 million F CFA. While Thiam and her companions denied the theft, investigators reported evidence of drug use, specifically the consumption of a substance known as ‘ballon’. Thiam and four others were detained on charges of theft, possession, and use of narcotics.

Following the legal proceedings, Thiam was acquitted of the charges. She addressed the case by clarifying that she had only attended the hotel for two hours at a friend’s invitation and denied staying overnight or being involved in the theft. She further noted that the narcotics investigation had shifted focus toward the hotel after a search was conducted at a suspect’s residence.
