In less than a year, the Société Générale du Sénégal (SGS), ex-SGBS, saw the emergence of a second major internal scandal. After the 3.4 billion CFA francs disappeared in the wake of Amadou Dicko, a new name is registered in the registers of the Criminal Investigations Division

.

Between November 2022 and June 2024, Oumar Bah, a discreet but strategically placed customer advisor, would have succeeded, according to information, in orchestrating a digital hijacking of just over 74 million FCFA by targeting dormant or seized accounts, often inactive for years. He allegedly exploited flaws in the banking system to make transfers to bridge accounts, one of which belonged to a nephew living abroad

.

He was arrested at the bank's headquarters in Dakar and confessed. He cited “financial problems” and “heavy social charges” to justify his actions. Oumar Bah is now being prosecuted for forgery and the use of forgeries in private bank transactions, fraud, and embezzlement via a computer system, charges punishable by

heavy penalties.
