A gang of Indian hemp dealers have been arrested by the police of the Biyem-Assi recently in Yaounde. Reports say a 16 year-old lad Toukou who deals in Indian hemp was caught selling marijuana on March 11, 2015 in Yaounde leading to further qinvestigation that led to the arrest of a chain of other dealers.

According to the report, Toukou told the police that he buys the drug from a famous dealer called Ndenle Ngeumba Arnold alias “Daddy”. On the same day when the police went to daddy’s home, his wife, Ngono Marie threw a bundle of Indian hemp over a fence but the police were able to find it and had both of them arrested.

In order to proceed with the case, the procurer ordered for the immediate arrest of Daddy who was grabbed on March 24, 2015 at Acacia in the Biyem-Assi neighbourhood at 11:00 p.m.

Daddy confessed to the police that he buys the marijuana from his supplier called Sergio but whose real name is Sanin Simon and lives in the Elig-Edjoa neighbourhood.

On Thursday March 26, 2015 Sanin Simon was also arrested in Elig-Edjoa with 204 packages of marijuana. When he was arrested, he told the gendarmes that he had a supplier who lives in Batcham near Mbouda in the West Region called “Mbom” but whose real name in Singne Roger.

Sanin then told the police that he had an appointment with Singne Roger the following day Friday March 27, 2015 in Yaounde. On that fateful Friday instead of Singne coming for the appointment, he sent his wife, Matsasse Anne with a bag of marijuana weighing about 40kgs.

Upon further investigations, the police ambushed Anne and got her arrested at Emana Borne Fontaine where she alighted. In all, the quantity of marijuana impounded weighed about 100kgs.
