Authorities in France have opened an investigation into the sudden disappearance of Diary Sow, a 20-year-old Senegalese student who was enrolled at the prestigious Lycée Louis-le-Grand high school in Paris.
Regarded as “the best student in Senegal”, Sow was reportedly last seen on January 4 and she did not report back to school after the Christmas holidays, BBC reported. The brilliant student, who has won several national awards in her native country and is a well-known personality, gained a scholarship to study at the prestigious Parisian school. Sow’s worrying disappearance has raised concerns both back home as well as in France.
Following her disappearance, the Senegalese community in France has been posting a missing person flyer on social media with her image and details in a bid to gather clues and information on her possible whereabouts. The Senegalese consulate in Paris also declared Sow missing on January 7, and the police subsequently opened a disappearance inquiry, France 24 reported.
