In the month of July 2013, the accused Godom Dieudionné approached Samuel Oulede, a military officer to give his war arm and ammunitions to the accused Mohamadou Mortala that he did. Once Mohamadou was in possession of the said arms, he gave them to Bintsoe Alfred to hunt elephants and deliver the ivories to Samuel Oulede. Bintsoe after realizing that the said arms did not meet his desires contacted Ngue Luc to return the arm to Mohamadou. The named Bendeke PORE got wind of all the underlying illegal transactions between the culprits and contacted the Moloundou gendarmerie denouncing them. In August 2013, the gendarmerie of Moloundou proceeded to arrest Bintsoe Alfred and Ngue Luc Ruben with the said arms and ammunitions and eventually all the other offenders. Samuel Oulede was charged with violating the military code of conduct, acting in a contrary manner affecting military dignity and misappropriation of military equipment intended for service. The other co-offenders were charged with the illegal detention of a war arm and ammunitions, aiding and abetting the detention of war arms, and attempt to hunt protected species without permit using war arms and ammunitions. They all acknowledged committing the offence as charged and confessed. After interrogation, they were all brought before the state prosecutor with the seized exhibits for prosecution.
