Just over two tons of cocaine were seized on April 15 and 21 in the Ivorian port cities of Abidjan and San Pedro, and nine people were arrested, the Interior Ministry announced on Saturday.
“A large seizure of cocaine was made by the police on Friday April 15 and Thursday April 21, 2022 in Abidjan and San Pedro”, indicates a press release from the ministry which specifies that “two tons fifty seven kilos and 259 grams” were seized.
The market value is estimated at 41 billion CFA francs or nearly 62 million euros.
The origin and destination of the goods was not specified.
“Nine people, including Ivorians and non-nationals were arrested,” the statement added.
In 2021, the gendarmes got their hands on 1.56 tons of cocaine from Latin America.
A year earlier, more than 400 kg of cocaine had been seized in Ivorian territorial waters, on board a merchant ship, coming from Brazil.
Côte d’Ivoire has become one of the privileged countries for the transit of cocaine between Latin America and Europe.

Nothing goes unnoticed. The program Amor y Fuego revealed the meaning of the actor’s non-verbal language Aldo Miyashiroand the journalist Fiorella Retizfollowing the ‘ampay’ that he starred in the department of Óscar del Portal.
As recalled, the driver of ‘La Banda del Chino‘, married to fellow interpreter Érika Villalobos, was caught kissing passionately with a former reporter from his program.
For this reason, the holistic therapist Alessandra Baressi spoke with the show program, hosted by Rodrigo Gonzáles and Gigi Mitre, and revealed what was behind the non-verbal language of both journalists.
“It is quite territorial, what she was looking for was closeness, to frame her territory, she is invading the person’s personal space and domain,” said the specialist regarding the attitude that Retiz maintains in the images of the ‘ampay’.
At another time, he also pointed out that it would not be strange to deduce an alleged “couple relationship” between the two TV presenters. As he indicated, the “pecks” between the two would reveal “a demonstration of affection that goes beyond having had a few drinks.”
“You see a passionate part but you also see a tender part, that which usually exists in a relationship that is not only physical, it is those pecks that are not sexual but rather tender,” he specified.

Yesterday, Beijing responded to the statements of a US official that China should learn the right lessons from the situation in Ukraine, including the impossibility of separating the United States from its allies.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said, “China’s position on the Ukraine issue is public, fair, objective and does not raise any suspicion. Otherwise, it is the United States that has a poor record on the relevant issues.” “We advise the United States to look in the mirror and manage its own affairs properly before pointing fingers and blaming others,” Zhao added.
Zhao said US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman’s comments were “pure clichés” and just “an old trick to discredit and slander China.” He stressed that “the facts have proven that China is a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of the international system.”
On Thursday and Friday, Sherman held wide-ranging talks with the Secretary-General of the European Union’s External Action Service Stefano Sanino in Brussels. The two sides “continue to urge China not to circumvent or undermine the sanctions imposed on Russia, and not to provide any support to Russia’s aggression once morest Ukraine, and reiterate that any such support will have repercussions on our relations with China,” a joint statement said.
