Former legal adviser and general secretary of the Ministry of Mines and Geology, Sadou Nimaga was kidnapped in broad daylight in the courtyard of a large hotel in Conakry, Thursday 17 October. After the kidnapping of Foniké Menguè, Mamadou Billo Bah and Colonel Célestin Bilivogui, he is the fourth person to suffer kidnapping in one year in Guinea.
This is the fourth kidnapping in less than a year in Guinea. A little more than 100 days after the disappearance, on July 9, of Foniké Menguè and Mamadou Billo Bah, of whom there is still no news, and Colonel Célestin Bilivogui, whose body was finally presented to his family at the end of September. , a former senior executive of the mining administration, in turn, was kidnapped on Thursday 17 October. Although he had an appointment in a large hotel in Conakry, Sadou Nimaga was kidnapped in broad daylight, in the company of his driver.
“Sadou Nimaga contacted after a meeting last Thursday,” affirms Mise Mohamed Traoré, his family’s lawyer. Four people then forced him to get into his own vehicle, with his driver. What is disturbing about this story is that this kidnapping took place in broad daylight in front of the witnesses and the kidnappers acted openly: they were not even afraid of being filmed by the possible surveillance cameras in the hotel! », he continues.
“His family is obviously very worried”
If, according to Mr. Mohamed Traoré, the driver was released under conditions, the relatives of Sadou Nimaga still have no news about him. ” His family is obviously very worried. As for the driver, he was released but was forbidden to discuss this matter in front of anyone, under penalty of elimination. », Mise Traoré explains which already controls the hypothesis of a villainous act.
According to him, the police questioned the first witness as part of the investigation opened by the Guinean justice system.
