Police in Ouèdo raided a house in the village of Ahouato on 22 September 2026 after a tip about drug use and sales there, according to La Nouvelle Tribune. They seized about 300 small balls of Indian hemp plus seeds, 470 grams in all.
Four people were arrested at the scene: one described as the head of the sales point and three as consumers. They were taken to the Ouèdo district police station. The article says guilt is not established and that investigators will determine roles and where the drugs came from. No charges or court outcome are reported.
Why it matters: Three of the four are described as consumers, not sellers, and the seized amount is under half a kilo in small balls. Those details point to street-level use.
