Seizures in Ekpè: The 2,5 tonnes of cocaine incinerated

 Seizures in Ekpè: The 2,5 tonnes of cocaine incinerated

The Court for the Repression of Economic Crimes and Terrorism has announced the seizure of 2,5 tonnes of cocaine in a warehouse in Epkè in the town of Semè Kpodji. After the arrest and pre-trial detention of those implicated in this case, the authorities cremated the drugs on Friday 8 October 2021.

The 2240 platelets seized in a warehouse near Porto-Novo were destroyed at the Ouèssè site in Ouidah in the Atlantic department dedicated to this type of operation. And according to, magistrate Séïdou Boni Kpégounou, he who led the operations, relayed by BéninwebTv,  destruction was carried out in accordance with relevant practice. "We cannot market cocaine and therefore the end is the destruction of the seals of the narcotics ordered by the judges. Whether the decision to destroy these prohibited products is taken before the end of the procedure or during the procedure, this is not prohibited by the Code of Criminal Procedure. The law allows it bluntly ", he said before adding "In addition, it is not easy for law enforcement agencies to keep 2.240 cocaine platelets making 2,57 tons. It's a tiring exercise for the men in uniform who spent two weeks in the warehouse in Ekpè ". He therefore reassured that the site chosen for the destruction of narcotics is secure and offers the ecological conditions necessary for such an operation..

As a reminder Fourteen people were arrested following the seizure of cocaine. Prosecuted for "high risk international drug trafficking, money laundering and attempted corruption ”, the accused are in detention in Akpro-Missérété civil prison. But before they were presented first to the Special Prosecutor at the Court for the Repression of Economic Crimes and Terrorism (CRIET).
