A Senegalese drug squad in Sédhiou seized 179 kg of green cannabis packed in 1 kg bricks and in sacks, according to Agence de Presse Sénégalaise via allAfrica. One suspect was caught in a village near Marsassoum after the others fled; three bicycles were also seized.
The operation followed intelligence that traffickers used bicycles to move cannabis between Senegal and Bafatá in Guinea-Bissau. The suspect said he was a courier and was to be paid 150,000 CFA francs on delivery. He is held in custody on charges including criminal association, possession and international trafficking.
Why it matters: The man in custody is a low-paid courier, not an organiser. The case happened in Senegal, so it is a regional link to Guinea-Bissau, not a case there.
