Togo’s National Police intervened in an abandoned house after residents alerted officers to suspect sacks left inside an unoccupied dwelling.[1] Officers sent to the scene carried out a thorough search of the building.[1] The alert came from residents of Kligué-Kondji after suspect sacks were found in the abandoned house.[2] No arrests had been reported, while police said investigations were continuing to identify those responsible and dismantle the network behind the consignment.[1]
Inside, officers found three maize sacks containing 216 pains of cannabis carefully concealed.[1] Traces of the substance found on the floor suggested the house was used as a storage place in drug trafficking.[1] Cannabis powder found spread on the floor confirmed to police that the house had served as a cannabis storehouse.[2]
The seizure occurred on 10 January 2026 at around 11 a.m. in a district of the town of Kpalimé.[2] The abandoned house is in Kloto Prefecture in south-western Togo.[1] Authorities praised residents’ vigilance, stressing cooperation between citizens and security forces in fighting drug trafficking in Togo.[1]
