Senegalese President
Everyevery.ng gathered that Senegalese police clashed with supporters of arrested opposition leader Ousmane Sonko for disturbing public peace.
Sonko, the opposition party leader and a former presidential candidate, is considered a potential critical challenger for President Macky Sall in elections in three years.
Meanwhile, Senegalese authorities had suspended the signal of two private television stations for 72 hours, accusing them of broadcasting images of unrest triggered by Sonko’s arrest.
The National Audiovisual Regulatory Council announced that the suspension affects Sen TV and Walf TV channels.
