Togo Vehicle Seizure Sparks Legal Outcry

Un ressortissant ghanéen dénonce la saisie de ses deux véhicules au port de Lomé par des agents de l’État togolais, une opération qu’il juge arbitraire et sans fondement légal. Selon son témoignage, les voitures — une Bentley Bentayga 2018 et un Lincoln Navigator 2021 — ont été confisquées le 20 février 2026 puis transférées vers les locaux de l’Agence nationale du renseignement (ANR), sur la base d’une simple instruction verbale non identifiée. L’intéressé affirme pourtant avoir respecté toutes les procédures administratives requises. Il précise que les véhicules disposaient d’un quitus délivré par le bureau national d’INTERPOL au Togo, certifiant leur conformité et l’absence de lien avec toute infraction internationale. Malgré cela, aucune décision écrite de saisie, aucune inculpation ni justification officielle ne lui auraient été communiquées plus de cinq semaines après les faits. Dans son récit, il décrit un système […]

ECOWAS urges restraint as Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone border tensions rise

The Economic Community of West African States has appealed for calm and restraint from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone following renewed tensions and reported armed incidents along their shared borders. Recent reports say Guinean soldiers allegedly crossed into Liberian territory in Foya District, Lofa County, firing sporadic gunshots and briefly hoisting their national flag on Liberian soil, weeks after a similar confrontation near the Sierra Leonean border in which several Sierra Leonean security personnel were detained. The incidents have sparked fears of escalation in the Mano River Union region.​ In its response, ECOWAS called on all three governments to exercise maximum restraint, avoid inflammatory statements and resolve outstanding boundary issues through dialogue and existing regional mechanisms. The bloc reiterated that only a comprehensive regional approach can restore lasting security along the Guinea–Liberia–Sierra Leone frontier. The organisation also expressed support for […]

Nigeria back on global economic frontline, says Shettima

Cross-border security cooperation ‘stopped Benin coup’

Nigerian ministers have credited fast cross-border coordination with helping Benin Republic crush a recent coup attempt and restore order within hours.​ Nigeria’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, and Defence Minister, Christopher Musa, explained in Abuja that Benin requested urgent military support after rogue soldiers tried to seize power in Cotonou. They said Nigeria worked closely with Benin and other ECOWAS states, including Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana and Sierra Leone, to respond before the mutiny could spread or cause mass casualties.​ According to the ministers, Beninese forces remained in charge of operations on the ground, but regional backing was crucial in securing key locations and denying the plotters access to strategic sites such as the airport and national television. Nigeria’s support reportedly included the deployment of Air Force fighter jets to help secure Benin’s airspace and dislodge mutineers from a military […]

Nigeria Sahel allies clash over detained military plane and soldiers

Nigeria and the Alliance of Sahel States are giving sharply different accounts of how a Nigerian Air Force C 130 transport plane and 11 soldiers ended up detained in Burkina Faso. The aircraft made an emergency landing in Bobo Dioulasso on Monday, but the incident has now triggered a wider diplomatic dispute over alleged airspace violations.​ The Alliance of Sahel States which includes Burkina Faso Mali and Niger insists the Nigerian plane entered its airspace without permission and was forced to land. In a joint statement the bloc called the episode a serious breach of sovereignty and said its air and anti aircraft defences have been placed on high alert with orders to neutralise any further unauthorised flights.​ Nigerian authorities reject the accusation and say the C 130 crew diverted to Bobo Dioulasso only after detecting a technical fault while […]
