When Dikori was shot and killed in Patta no one dared to tell Musa Molloh except his griots Suntukung Jali and Marang Sarah. Both men volunteered to inform him about the incident. He did not believe that Dikori could be killed by a gun, but he recalled Sayerr Sankano’s spell that they had casted on him. The first Islamic scholars in Manding were from the clans Touray, Ceesay, Komma, Bereteh, Janneh, and Semega. They were thought to have the ability to bless people. Abdou Njai, a descendant and businessman arrived from Saloum settled in Woy with Kekoto Fatty and planned to govern them. Kekoto Fatty traveled with Abdou Njai to visit his Marabout Sheik Sidia in Badibou, who revealed that Abdou would become a great leader. When Abdou heard about the Portuguese plans to attack the people of Woy he decided to exploit that opportunity. During that period Sheik Mafugi mediated a peace agreement between them.
