The N’Djamena municipal government recently implemented new regulations to oversee the conduct of the Municipal Police following citizen complaints regarding unethical practices, such as unauthorized fines and improper seizures. Mayor Senoussi Hassana Abdoulaye clarified that while the Municipal Police focus on security, the Sanitary Police hold exclusive jurisdiction over the sanitary management of food products.

Following these administrative guidelines, sanitary police in N’Djamena conducted inspections that led to the seizure of large quantities of meat deemed unfit for human consumption. Authorities discovered decomposed products in the 3rd arrondissement and a second stock in a container in the 1st arrondissement. Individuals involved in the storage of these products were apprehended and handed over to the Judicial Police for investigation.
