Senegalese wrestler Ama Baldé returned to the country on May 27, 2026, landing at Diass International Airport after legal proceedings against him were discontinued. The charges, related to an incident in 2024, were dropped by the Senegalese judiciary earlier this week.
Baldé, a prominent figure in traditional wrestling, had been living abroad since the allegations emerged. His return was welcomed by supporters at the airport, though he made no public statement upon arrival.
The exact nature of the charges has not been officially confirmed, but local media reported they involved a dispute with a business partner. The dropping of the case allows Baldé to resume his career and personal life in Senegal.
