Therefore, the fathers and mothers who acquired their property more than a decade ago now find themselves in total disarray and are experiencing permanent stress.

Company’s fault Science Darou Salam. «The developer Saliou Youssou Dione has mortgaged the land title 2858/R equivalent to a land of 15 hectares and 47 lots of houses. This he did without the knowledge of the owners who paid the sums in full for the purchase of their houses. Because the latter received certificates in good and proper form of property, raised hands, real rights and even land titles. All the deeds were supervised by the Mamadou Dieng Tanor Ndiaye notary’s office”, says the collective’s spokesman, Ibrahima Wone.
For the inhabitants of the city, the real estate developer bypassed the notary to raise funds from a bank in the amount of 222 million CFA francs by mortgaging the land title of the inhabitants of the city of Darou Salam. “SCI Darou Salam has collected the money from the buyers and refuses to pay the debts owed to the bank. He paid only 59 million. The sum to be recovered at the moment is 163 million» launches M. Wone.

The State must prohibit him from exercising the profession of real estate developer.

I therefore specify that with regard to TF 2858/R, nothing could be done without the knowledge of the notary in charge of the sales of these 47 lots, contrary to what the collective claimed. On the listed lots the notary was aware of the mortgage“, explains Youssou Saliou Dione.

The notary is impartial, independent and responsible for the legality of the deeds and causes that he is called upon to deal with.“, emphasizes the executive of the company who believes that the notary is responsible for any sale made before him. “The owners of the 29 houses mentioned can remain impassive, because we are in a state of law. They will not be evicted from their homes“, claims the promising who states that the file is in the hands of the lawyers who will continue to ensure their defense against the Bank.
