Burkinabe Komboïgo could have done without this latest episode in the dispute with Canal+. In a letter addressed to the Faso procurator close to the high court in Ouagadougou dated 14 July read by Jeune Afrique Business+, lawyers representing Amidou Nikiema, former partner at Prosat, owned by Komboïgo, make accusations of extorsion, fraud and usurpation of title or office against the Burkinabe businessman, politician and candidate for the next presidential election.
