"The exercise, held at the Old Cape Road in Bakau and witnessed by diplomats from the US, UK, Venezuela and Taiwanese embassies, as well as the WHO Gambia representative, saw the destruction of 3 tonnes, 5 kilos and 47 grams of cannabis, 8 kilos and 2 grams of cocaine, and 20 grams of heroin.

However, the two tonnes of cocaine said to worth US$1 billion that was seized in Bonto in May 2010 was not destroyed due to its huge concentration."
