Senegal reports more than five tonnes of cannabis seized in a year

Figures presented in Dakar in February 2026 put seizures of Indian hemp in 2025 at 5,238 kg, with 1,302 people arrested in anti-drug operations, most of them tied to distribution networks in the informal sector. In October 2025 the gendarmerie's spokesman had said cannabis was the largest drug seized by weight that year, while cocaine seizures had doubled compared with 2024.[1][2]
