About 4 Billion CFA equivalent to $6.6m cash was found at the residence of Yann Ngoulou. Ngoulou is the chief of staff to Nourredine Bongo, eldest son of the ousted president of Gabon, Ali Bongo.
This was prior to the removal of the President of the country for alleged incredible election.
Bongo, who has been in power since 2009 following the death of his father was declared the winner of the election for his third term in office.
According to Aljazeera, the junta appeared on national TV, Gabon24 to announce the annulment of the election in the early hours of Wednesday, August 30, 2023.
