Acting on a tip-off regarding an individual in possession of human remains, the Commander of the Baham Gendarmerie Company, Major MEBOUINZ Daniel Fritz, on instructions from the Commander of the West Gendarmerie Legion, led a sweep operation on 27 February 2026 in Bangou, Upper Plateau Division, West Region.

This operation, led by the Baham Company command,resulted in the arrest of a 22-year-old suspect found in possession of a bag containing human bones. Subsequent interrogation led to the arrest of an alleged accomplice, aged 30. According to Dr KAMGA Abel, a forensic pathologist, the remains have been identified as those of a male individual.

Major MEBOUINZ Daniel Fritz indicated that the suspects were intercepted while attempting to sell their loot on the black market for an estimated sum of 20 million CFA francs.

The two suspects have been handed over to the competent judicial authorities.
