Four detained over major drug haul

Authorities in Guinea-Bissau have seized a consignment of nearly 800kg of cocaine, the biggest drugs haul in the country in over a decade. A report on the News24 site notes that four suspects – two Nigerians, one Senegalese and one Bissau-Guinean – are in custody following the seizure at the capital Bissau's northern exit. The drugs were found in a refrigerated truck registered in Senegal.
