Chad’s National Police incinerated seized prohibited goods on 15 January 2026.[1] The incineration took place at a site in Gassi, in the commune of N’Djamena’s 7th arrondissement.[2] The action was supervised by Prosecutor Moussa Abdelkerim Saleh, deputy police chief Mourhal Sahir, the anti-drug chief and deputy mayor Florentine Ngaoudjé.[2] The goods had been stored at the Central Anti-Drug Office before destruction.[1]
The destroyed lot included 38 blocks and 165 balls of cannabis.[1] The same inventory lists 10 sachets of “Colorado” alongside the cannabis, plus adulterated alcohol, diazepam, tramadol, Exol, pregabalin and aphrodisiacs.[3] The lot also included 186 mobile phones, seized passports and identity cards, and counterfeit notes including 217 100-dollar bills.[3] The outlets give a combined overall valuation of 101 625 000 CFA francs for all the destroyed goods together.[3]
Prosecutor Saleh said no one who endangers public health, the national economy and citizens’ security can escape the law.[3] He said perpetrators, co-perpetrators and accomplices will be systematically tracked down, arrested and brought before the courts.[1] Police presented the destruction as a renewed call for citizen vigilance and cooperation with internal security forces.[3]
