Chadian supreme court sets may 2026 date for succès masra’s appeal

A significant judicial development has emerged concerning the legal proceedings involving Succès Masra. The Supreme Court of Chad, specifically its Judicial Chamber, has scheduled the case for review during a public ordinary hearing of its 2nd Criminal Section. This pivotal session is slated for Thursday, May 21, 2026, commencing at 9 AM.

An official document, which was formalized in N’Djamena on May 19, 2026, and bears the signature of Mr. Samir Adam Annour, the section’s president, confirms these details. The case, identified by dossier number 092/25, pits Succès Masra and the individuals accused in the Mandakao affair, represented by a collective of defense lawyers including Me Kadjilem-baye Francis, against the Public Prosecutor and the Chadian State, the latter represented by the State Judicial Agency (AJE).

The central focus of this upcoming hearing is an appeal in cassation. This appeal challenges criminal judgment number 018/25, which was previously delivered by the N’Djamena Court of Appeal on August 9, 2025. Magistrate Amadou Oumarou has been designated to report on the intricacies of the case during the proceedings.
