On February 10, 2026, heavy gunfire erupted near Guinea’s central prison in Conakry, prompting a security response in the Kaloum district, which houses the presidential palace.
Witnesses reported over 30 minutes of automatic gunfire, leading to roadblocks and panic.
The incident followed an unannounced prison inspection that uncovered prohibited items and led to the transfer of Commander Aboubacar Sidiki Diakite, a senior military figure sentenced to 10 years for his role in the 2009 stadium massacre, to a facility in Coyah.
Authorities cited his resistance and threats during the search as reasons for the move.
No official explanation has been provided for the gunfire, and the situation remains under investigation.
