The situation remains tense in Oupeye, which was the scene of the death of a quad driver, shot dead by the police this Friday when he refused to comply. This Tuesday, we learned, via Sudinfo, that the mayor and his family have been targeted by death threats since Friday evening.
The mayor quickly went to meet the young people of his commune, who are very shocked by the events and have clashed with the police in recent days. But the young people believe that the mayor, as chief of police, is responsible for the young man who was shot dead by a policeman when he had run over his colleague with his quad to escape control. “We know where you live, we know where your family lives, we will settle this”, threatened the young people.

These threats are taken very seriously. Since then, the mayor and his family no longer live in their home. “When you are mayor, you love your municipality and you want to work for the common good and to be attacked in this way, it really hurts deep within yourself,” said Serge Fillot, the mayor of Oopeye.
