No weight was published for the two cannabis sacks, and the substance in the additional drug balls was not specified.
The accounts say several suspects were arrested but give no total number and do not establish that any named suspect was linked to the cannabis sacks.
The presentation is described as occurring on Friday; 19 June 2020, the article publication date, is used as the incident date because no separate calendar date is given.
The accounts give different examples of people presented: Alwihda names an armed robber and a man arrested at an inn, while Toumaï lists two armed robbers and a woman accused of trafficking adulterated alcohol.
The article also reports a separate six-month gendarmerie tally across N'Djamena and the provinces; those aggregate figures are excluded from this presentation.
No later court outcomes for the presented suspects are reported.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in Toumaï Web Médias: The second account also lists two armed robbers and a woman arrested for trafficking adulterated alcohol among those presented.
