Senegalese influencer Rokhaya Fall—widely known to her followers as Rox la Chancelière—is facing a fresh set of serious legal troubles even as she currently serves a six-month prison sentence. Already detained following a ruling by the tribunal of Pikine-Guédiawaye, the social media personality was extracted from custody on Friday to face an investigative judge at the Tribunal de grande instance hors classe de Dakar.

The latest legal proceedings stem from incidents dating back to 2025 that reportedly involve the influencer and her sister. Investigative authorities have formally charged Fall with three distinct and grave offenses: arson, sequestration, and endangering the lives of others.

According to information detailed by Seneweb, the TikTok personality appeared before the judge in the 4th cabinet of the Dakar tribunal for her initial hearing. While the magistrate formally slapped her with the three charges, Fall was not sent straight back to a prison cell for this specific matter.
Passport Confiscation and Judicial Oversight
Rather than ordering a remand in custody for the new case, the examining magistrate placed Fall under judicial control. This alternative measure, however, carries a significant restrictive condition designed to monitor her movements: the formal confiscation of her Senegalese passport.
