About twenty policemen and gendarmes flew


The Togolese national police and gendarmerie are not exempt from criminal offenses such as theft, aggravated theft, fraud, breach of trust, sexual harassment and many other serious faults.



This is what the Minister of Security and Civil Protection, Colonel Yark Damehame demonstrated to the press this Thursday, when presenting the security situation of Togo over the period from 1 January to 11 June 2017.

During the same period, about twenty police and gendarmerie officers were found guilty of offenses. For the police, there are about ten agents, including a deputy police officer, a police brigadier and peacekeepers. At the gendarmerie, fingers were pointed at by the deputy gendarmes, the gendarmes and marshals, and an adjutant. No agent was specifically named.

For example, according to the minister, the police brigadier is the author of a laptop theft in the hold baggage when a flight was registered on 14 April 2017. "The applicant, after identifying The contents of a bag, followed the bag in the tunnel of its conveyor before emptying it of its content, "said the minister.

He is being put under arrest for 60 days and the procedure is ongoing and he will be brought before the public prosecutor's office for "robbery," Colonel Yark said.


Video surveillance has seen a peacekeeper receiving money from a passenger for an illegal package. On the head of the deputy police officer, he hovers offenses like fraud, breach of trust and refusal to pay his debts.
Another peacekeeper was caught in the act of robbery of work equipment in a house he was watching.

The offending gendarmes as well as the previous police officers are the subject of several ordinary offenses. We talk about notorious misconduct, indiscipline, greed and even theft of military equipment. One of them, in uniform, was taken to his drunken post. Another one helped a state official to collect a sum of 300,000 from a merchant.

Some of these offenses, according to the minister, have tarnished the image of the institution to which the perpetrators belong. And the punishments are without appeal.

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”.

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...
