Ramatoulaye Diaw, known by the pseudonym ‘Ramz Yago’, was arrested by Senegal’s Special Cybercrime Division (DSC) following a sting operation. The arrest followed a complaint by Rokhaya Fall, also known as ‘Rox’, regarding a video in which Diaw allegedly used virulent language concerning Fall’s deceased mother.

Diaw was placed in custody for allegedly making statements contrary to public morality. The Pikine-Guédiawaye prosecutor's office has ordered a confrontation between the two parties to clarify their statements, while the investigation continues to examine the dissemination of personal data and online conduct.
