Saraya : Un orpailleur interpellé avec 200 g de chanvre indien à la frontière malienne
A 36-year-old Senegalese national was arrested on Thursday, October 29, 2026, by officers at the Mouran border checkpoint, in the Moussala border sector. He was in possession of 200 grams of cannabis, which he had allegedly purchased in Mali for resale in Senegal.
The fight against drug trafficking continues in the department of Saraya. On Thursday, October 29, at around 7:22 p.m., a patrol from the Mouran border control post apprehended a suspected drug trafficker.
The individual, identified by the initials BS, is a 36-year-old gold miner residing in Balakonko, Senegal. Traveling from Bountou, Mali, and heading towards Dalato, he was intercepted during a patrol in the border area.
The search uncovered two plastic bags containing loose cannabis. The quantity seized is estimated at 200g, with 100g per bag.
When questioned briefly by officers, the suspect reportedly admitted to owning the drugs. He also allegedly stated that he obtained his supply in Mali to provide drugs to a cannabis trafficking network in Senegal.
In addition to the drugs, security forces seized a Bravo brand motorcycle, two mobile phones (a Samsung and an Infinix), and 46,500 CFA francs. All the items were placed under seal as part of the procedure.
Following the investigation opened for trafficking in Indian hemp, the suspect was brought before the Saraya prosecutor's office this Friday, October 30, 2026.
