Over his involvement in the massacre of opposition supporters at a stadium in the Guinea’s capital, Conakry, eight years ago, Senegal has removed a former presidential aide in Guinea.

According to Ceoafrica, Aboubakar Diakite, known as Toumba, was arrested in Senegal in December.

More than 150 people were killed when security forces opened fire on thousands of anti-government protesters at the capital's main stadium.

Women there were molested and dozens of people were never seen again.

He had been on the run since 2009 when he tried to kill his own chief, Guinea's former military leader, Moussa Dadis Camara, who was also implicated in the stadium massacre.
