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.

Oruko Amutorunwa (Pre-Destined Names) In Yorubaland

                                                           Ibeji (Twins) In Yoruba land, one of the most important things done when a child is born is to give the child a name. This comes after the child’s ritual birth, massage of specific body parts and other rites as well. Names are given to the child by the father, mother, grandparents (paternal and maternal) and some close relatives also. But sometimes, the circumstance of a child’s birth will automatically give the child a name. This name is known as ‘orúko àmútọ̀runwá’ (pre-destined or generic name) in Yorubaland. The most common generic names (orúko àmútọ̀runwá) in Yoruba land are ‘Taiwo‘ and ‘Kehinde‘ (altogether known as Ìbejì) which are given to twins.

Togo now has its plan to combat land degradation

Land degradation is a reality in Togo. According to figures put forward by the Ministry of the Environment, each year 4.14% of the land (nationally) succumb to the phenomenon. And it is in response to the problem that the Government launched last March, the Program of definition of the national targets on neutrality in land degradation (PDC / NDT). On Thursday in Lomé, environmental experts validated a document that will serve as a blueprint for sustainable land management in Togo. This document, which estimates that 23,500 hectares of land are degraded each year in Togo between 2000 and 2010, has already identified national targets assessed on the basis of indicators such as land use, net productivity or carbon. According to the Secretary General of the Ministry of Environment and Forest Resources, Sama Boundjouw, these targets and their measures to be validated will become guidelines for any actor involved in the fight against land degradation in Togo during the next twelve...
