Open questions the AI reported
No weight in kilograms or grams was published for the four and a half blocks and 145 balls of cannabis, so no cannabis mass can be recorded.
The sources give no separate date for the arrests, only that the police statement was issued on Saturday 18 July 2026, which is used as the incident date.
The 301 Tramadol tablets are a different substance and are not counted in the cannabis quantities.
The 279,000 francs CFA is described only as suspected proceeds of drug sales; no cannabis street value was published.
No charges, court referral or custody ruling were reported for the four suspects.
nordinfos.net credits aip.ci as its source, so both accounts rest on the same police statement rather than independent reporting.
The page photo is captioned as the four arrested dealers but carries no credit, and what it shows beyond that caption could not be confirmed.
