Biography: Seckou Dabo's grandfather left Mankonomba to settle to Birassou-Sansanwoto in Guinea-Bissau, where Seckou Dabo was born. However, his family had to relocate to Mankonomba in 1963 due to the decolonization war in Guinea-Bissau. He later moved to Numbato-Camaracounda in the region of Sedhiou to attend Quranic school. He returned home in 1973. Afterwards, he moved to Kafountine and Cap Skiring in the region of Ziguinchor to work as a marabout (healer, diviner, religious leader). He returned home in 1993 after the death of his older brother. He now serves as a marabout and farmer in Mankonomba.
