Senegalese authorities in Kédougou seized 11,500 Tramadol pills during a nighttime operation on August 23-24, 2026, in Dindéfélo. Officers at a checkpoint attempted to stop two individuals on a motorcycle, triggering a chase when the suspects tried to flee, abandoning their vehicle and cargo. A 24-year-old foreign national was apprehended after the pursuit. The Tramadol pills were found concealed in a bag on the motorcycle, and the suspect denied ownership, claiming he was merely a passenger traveling to Bantaco. He has been detained on charges including drug trafficking and illegal practice of pharmacy. Investigations are ongoing to locate the second suspect and uncover the full extent of the trafficking network.
