Gendarmes based at Mbe seized more than 200 kilogrammes of cannabis from a truck heading for Kousseri in the Far North.[1] The load had travelled the Bafoussam-Yaounde-Bertoua-Ngaoundere trunk road hidden under sacks of cabbage presented as food for the northern population.[1] The gendarmerie said the shipment had come from Bafoussam in the West region and had passed unchecked through every checkpoint along the route before a tip-off exposed it at Mbe, near Ngaoundere in Adamaoua.[1]

The public prosecutor attached to the Vina courts, Hamadou Bouba, said the cannabis could have been meant to supply the Boko Haram sect in the Far North and called breaking its supply chain a duty of security forces, administrative and judicial authorities and traditional rulers.[1] No arrests, names or court outcomes were reported in this account.[1]
