He is a gold trader aged around thirty, who was the victim of a burglary on Tuesday July 30, 2024, in Bouré Balato, a district under the sub-prefecture of Kintinia, located 35 km from Siguiri.
The attackers managed to seize the victim’s property, which is estimated at more than 13 million FG and 4 grams of gold.
According to the information we received on site, these attackers were armed with a PMAK and a pair of scissors.
Questioned on the evening of Wednesday, July 31, 2024, the victim told us about his mishap.
“There were three of us sitting outside, my friend who weighs gold was inside. Suddenly, we saw two people on the same motorcycle, the other was holding a PMAK and the other a pair of scissors. The one who was holding the PMAK came in to demand the gold and silver from my friend. He took out 3 million plus 4 grams of gold. At that moment, he was shouting feminine insults, saying we must shoot him. When they finished taking, the one who had the PMAK in his hand took the saddle off my motorcycle, he took the 10 million that were on it. When they left, we all shouted, chanting, the bandits are here. That’s how they turned back,” explained Moussa Dioubaté.
The latest news is that the attackers have fled and investigations are underway to determine who is responsible in the coming days.
