Kédougou : un jeune arrêté pour trafic de chanvre indien et rébellion contre la police.

The Kédougou Regional Narcotics Brigade (BRS) apprehended a young suspected drug trafficker on Saturday, November 1, 2025. The operation, conducted in the Mosquée neighborhood, led to the arrest of Mr. D, alias "Gamzo," aged 22 and a native of Kédougou.

According to sources, this arrest followed the exploitation of operational intelligence indicating a network of young people involved in the sale and distribution of marijuana in the neighborhood. The suspect was described as one of the group's key figures.

After several days of surveillance and discreet monitoring, the BRS officers decided to intervene early in the morning. Upon arriving at the suspect's home, he reportedly barricaded himself in his bedroom, refusing to comply with their orders. The police were then forced to break down the door to arrest him.

It was at this moment that "Gamzo" allegedly brandished a knife and attempted to attack the officers. A heated altercation ensued, but the young man was eventually subdued by members of the BRS.

The search of the premises uncovered 32 packets of marijuana carefully concealed in the suspect's room. Some of his friends, who were present, reportedly attempted to prevent his arrest but were quickly dispersed thanks to the decisive action of law enforcement.

The suspect was taken into custody for trafficking and possession of marijuana, resisting arrest, and possession of a bladed weapon. He will soon be brought before the prosecutor for the initiation of legal proceedings.

According to the authorities, this arrest illustrates the firmness of the security forces in the face of drug trafficking in the Kédougou region, where operations to combat the phenomenon are increasing.
