The MOSCOU-RCA joint unit seized a large quantity of dangerous medicines, including psychotropic substances, at the Zamboye mining site in Nana-Mambéré. The products were presented to the press on 9 November in Bangui as part of efforts to combat trafficking and banditry in gold-mining areas, according to General René Bonang.
A large quantity of dangerous medicines, including psychotropic substances, was seized last week at the Zamboye mining site, in the Central African prefecture of Nana-Mambéré, by the MOSCOU-RCA joint unit. The products were presented to the press on Monday 9 November in Bangui, according to Radio Lengo Songo.
Police General René Bonang, an expert in combating drugs and drug addiction, explained that the increase in acts of banditry in gold-mining areas had led the Minister of the Interior and Public Security to order the creation of this special unit, according to Radio Lengo Songo.
René Bonang also reported previous clashes in Zamboye that had caused deaths and injuries. He attributed these incidents in particular to the consumption of drugs and psychotropic substances and said that the police authorities wanted to intensify the pursuit of traffickers and consumers in the country's various cities, according to Radio Lengo Songo.
