The N’Djamena Court of First Instance has adjourned until 12 November the trial of defendants charged over a home attack. The defence disputes the authenticity and evidential value of CCTV footage, leading proceedings to be suspended at the 29 October hearing, reports Alwihda Info.

The trial of several defendants charged with a home attack has been adjourned to 12 November 2026 by the N’Djamena Court of First Instance. Proceedings were suspended after the defence challenged the authenticity and evidential value of a CCTV recording, according to Alwihda Info.

The case was originally due to be heard on 22 October, then was adjourned to 29 October to allow the video presented as evidence to be viewed. Exchanges between the lawyers became heated as counsel for the civil party was about to play the recording, prompting the presiding judge to suspend proceedings.

The defendants, held on remand at Klessoum prison, were escorted back after the hearing was adjourned to 12 November 2026, reports Alwihda Info.
