The Central Directorate of the Judicial Police (DCPJ) also detailed results from a series of operations known as “Goudougoudou.”
A total of 50 individuals — including 39 men and 11 women — were brought before the courts.

Criminal networks targeted and dismantled
According to the PNH, these operations led to the neutralization of seven armed individuals and the dismantling of a group identified as “Chalè.”
Separately, ten officials from the Directorate of Immigration and Emigration were arrested as part of another ongoing investigation.
Results announced amid persistent insecurity
Through this report, the PNH emphasizes the intensification of its operations against criminal networks.
The figures reflect sustained activity in terms of interventions, arrests and seizures, even as the security situation remains fragile.
Several major roads continue to be disrupted by armed groups, and parts of the country remain outside full state control.
