Dressed in street clothes but carrying their military identification cards along with pistols and a submachine gun, the two soldiers walked into the newsroom of Le Jeune Democrate at around two p.m. on Sunday, April 9, and asked to speak with Toualy. The journalist was then arrested and driven to the Akouedo military barracks, in a suburb of Abidjan, where he was asked to reveal the sources for an article titled “Mutiny in Daloa: Six Guinean Soldiers Arrested,†which appeared in the April 8 edition of Le Jeune Democrate.
