Arrested and detained since Tuesday, 19 February, 2019, the Prefect of the Littoral, Modeste Toboula was questioned by the Economic and Financial Brigade (BEF) over the alleged sale of a public property.
He was indicted for abuse of authority, and the issuing of fake public documents.
The minister of Decentralization, Barnabe Dassigli, is believed to have colluded with the Prefect by giving instructions to the latter for the transfer of the public land, which is located not far from Cardinal Bernadin Gantin International Airport.
