The following bolded statement is not factually accurate.
Maba Diakhou Bâ and Lat Dior fought against the Serer people at The Battle of Fandane-Thiouthioune. The Serers of Sine adhered to Serer religion not Islam. Maba who spent a lot of time fighting against the non-muslims such as the Serers and the Mandinka people of Baddibu did not aid non muslims in anything. In the Mandinka kingdom of Baddibu, Maba killed Mandinka pagans and sold slaves. He was also a supporter of Governor Darcey (British governor in the Gambia) against the Animist King of Baddibu (Jereba Marong). When the King of Sine - Maad a Sinig Kumba Ndoffene Famak Joof was fighting against the French at the Battle of Logandème there was no Maba or his patrons like Lat Dior (see: Niokhobaye Diouf.
