Gambie : arrestation d’un Sénégalais en possession d’une arme

A 49-year-old Senegalese man was arrested at the Amdalai border post between Senegal and Gambia by the Gambian Drug Enforcement Agency (DLEAG). Although he was not involved in drug trafficking, he was illegally in possession of a pistol loaded with 12 rounds of ammunition. He was taken into custody and then handed over to the police for legal action, reports Les Échos.

According to the same source, this arrest is part of a large-scale operation carried out by the DLEAG between July 24 and 31, targeting drug and arms trafficking.

In Fajara, further arrests were made: an Indian nightclub manager was found in possession of ecstasy, cannabis, skunk, and weapons. Two Bissau-Guineans were also arrested with 25 blocks of cocaine, Les Echos reports.

The daily newspaper emphasizes that all are being prosecuted in accordance with Gambian legislation on narcotics and the possession of firearms.

    J'ai lu cette information sur un site gambien Fatou network. Il a été libéré sur ordre des autorités gambiennes.
    Il paraît que c'est un agent du ministère de l'intérieur du Sénégal en mission. Il n'a rien à voir avec ceux qui sont arrêtés pour détention et traffic de drogue à Fajara Bakau ( un indien et un bissao-guinéen). Ne confondez pas les deux situations.
