No charge, court outcome or weight confirmation was reported; the case was at the arrest stage when the accounts were published.
The suspect's name, age and home were not published, and no street value was given for the bale.
The Guinéenews article is dated 13 October but its text says she would be presented "dès ce mardi", while its last update was 14 October; the incident date 13 October is given explicitly by all accounts.
The four accounts reproduce the same statement by the Direction générale de la Police nationale, so they are not independent reporting.
The page picture has no caption or credit tying it to this seizure, so it is linked rather than treated as a photograph confirmed to show the bale.
