Gabon Media Time, the cited source, gives no date for the seizure. The page is stamped "6 août 2026 à 11h39min" (in English: 6 August 2026 at 11:39). It says the suspects were jailed on a stated day: "a été écroué à la prison centrale de Libreville le 3 août dernier" (in English: was jailed at the central prison in Libreville on 3 August last). This news item carries 6 August 2026, the date of the report, so the seizure itself came before that date.

Quantities

Gabon Media Time reports "1,32 tonne de cannabis, conditionnée dans 65 sacs pour une valeur estimée à près de 800 millions de FCFA" (in English: 1.32 tonnes of cannabis, packed in 65 sacks, with a value estimated at nearly 800 million CFA francs). This news item gives 1.32 tonnes in 65 sacks and does not carry the estimated value.
