Senegal: police arrest a man disguised as a woman to compose in place of his girlfriend

A Senegalese university student is in trouble for disguising himself as a woman to sit his girlfriend’s school-leaving English paper.

Images of the Khadim Mboup dressed in women’s clothes, including a red veil, have been shared widely on social media and news outlets in Senegal.

The 22-year-old student, who was arrested over the weekend, said he was only acting “out of love” because his girlfriend was having difficulties in English, local media reported.
