Tchad Supreme Court confirms May 21, 2026 hearing date for Succès Masra case
The judicial saga surrounding Succès Masra has reached a significant milestone. The Tchad Supreme Court’s second criminal division has officially scheduled a public hearing for the case on Thursday, May 21, 2026, at 9:00 AM.
A formal notice, issued and signed in N’Djamena on May 19, 2026, by the division’s presiding judge, Mr. Samir Adam Annour, confirms the hearing. The case, designated as number 092/25, pits Succès Masra and co-defendants from Mandakao—represented by a defense team led by prominent lawyer Me Kadjilem-baye Francis—against the public prosecutor’s office and the Tchadien state, represented by the State Legal Agency (AJE).
The upcoming session will focus on reviewing a cassation appeal against the criminal ruling (case number 018/25) issued by the N’Djamena Court of Appeal on August 9, 2025. The proceedings will be presented by Magistrate Amadou Oumarou.
