A special police against those who harm the name of religion



Difficult to reconcile the exercise of religious freedoms and the peace of citizens in a secular state. In Togo, they abound in these religions which, with the untimely exercises of their practices, severely affect the social life. At the Ministry of Security and Civil Protection, a cults police was thought to bring order to the exercise of religious freedoms.


 If it is not justice, the police station of any corner of Togo can testify to the plethora of complaints related to the noise nuisance of a neighborhood muezzin, a church, ministries or a sect philosophical in the corner, religious obediences without exception whose officials hold programs of worship to end the lives of local residents.

And that's not all, other unscrupulous individuals use religious freedom to introduce precepts and practices that severely undermine human dignity, with harmful impacts on life and social cohesion.

Who has not seen these charlatans turn into institutions of micro finance, healers, in short dressed in skin doctor of all the socio-economic evils, a pipe all found to scam and disillusion more often ignorant populations.

The police of the cults will have the responsibility to track down, apprehend and translate all these dark entities before the law. It will operate under the responsibility of the Directorate of Cults, currently managed by Squadron Leader Béléi Bédiani.

"It is important to note that the initiative shows the greater willingness of the authorities to find a panacea to the problem related to the exercise of religious freedom in a secular state that is ours" reveals PA-l'Union, citing a government source

Ibi Ugwu (Male Circumcision) In Igbo Land

The act of circumcising babies in Igbo land is an ancient culture and tradition of the Igbo people which has its origin from their traditional religions. “Circumcision is the act of removing female genitalia, or a simple fold of skin (foreskin and prepuce) that covers the head of an un-erect penis”. In ancient times, the Igbos circumcise both male and female children, but as modernization set in, the circumcision or genital mutilation of Igbo female children was stopped while that of male continued till today. The circumcision of male babies (Ibi Ugwu) in Igbo land is done on the 8th day after birth.

John XII: The Pope who turned the Vatican to a Whorehouse

Octavianus was only 18 years old when he ascended the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church and became Pope John XII on December 16, 955. He was the only son of Duke Alberic II (932–954) of Spoleto, then ruler of Rome. Alberic, before his death in 954, made Roman nobles swear at St. Peter's altar that they would make his son, Octavianus, pope at the first vacancy. Since the leaders loved the dying father, they kept their word to him and elected Octavianus as the 130th Roman Catholic Pope succeeding Pope Agapetus II after the pope’s death on November 8, 955. Octavianus adopted the apostolic name of John XII. He was the third pontiff to take a regnal name upon elevation to the papal chair; the first being Pope John II (533–535), whose birth name was Mercurius and the second, Pope John III (561–574), whose birth name was Catelinus. Right from the start, in relation to secular issues, the new pope issued his directives under the name of Octavianus, while in all matters relating t...
