PPA-CI: Pro-Gbagbo figure Justin Koua questioned by counterterrorism unit; court announces its decision

Justin Koua, deputy secretary-general of Laurent Gbagbo’s PPA-CI, was questioned on October 19, 2026, by Côte d’Ivoire’s counterterrorism judicial unit in Abidjan. The subjects of the questioning were not made public, though sources cited his alleged role in the October 2025 events involving the Common Front, which opposed Alassane Ouattara’s fourth term. After the hearing, Koua was placed under judicial supervision. Another pro-Gbagbo figure, Sébastien Dano Djédjé, had previously been placed under the same measure.
