Under the coordination of Colonel ABBA SAIDOU, Commander of the West Gendarmerie Legion, the operation targeted in particular, the Komono and Koudoubain neighbourhoods, the Dubaï area and the Ngoh Ngoh crossroads.

The Police raid, round-up and closure operations led to the arrest of 142 people, including 38 women and 104 men. Among them, six individuals wanted on arrest warrants were also arrested.

Consequently, 2 automatic pistols ; 1 dummy pistol ; 2 revolvers ; 8 homemade pistols ; 1 homemade double-barrelled rifle ; 4 rifles ; eleven 12-gauge cartridges ; 2 bags of cannabis and 50 motorbikes were seized.

At the end of these operations, an investigation was launched in order to establish who was responsible and to carry out the necessary checks. Many people arrested for reasons that do not justify their remand custody, notably for lack of a National Identity Card or advanced state of inebriation, have been released after checks.

Those subject to warrants will be brought before the competent courts, in accordance with the procedures in force.

Through this operation, the National Gendarmerie reaffirms its commitment to protecting people, combating the illegal possession of weapons and dismantling criminal rings throughout the country.
