“We have not recorded at all lately, this year or last year, a shipment of this large scale at the Autonomous Port of Lomé. I don’t think it’s really in Togo because the destruction protocol is known to everyone and if it was here, we would all have had the information and the media would surely be invited to this destruction operation,” said indeed indicated the Director of Customs Operations at the Autonomous Port of Lomé, Customs Colonel Moïse AKAYA this Sunday, April 16, 2023 on the set of Togolese national television (TVT).

Otherwise it did not happen in Togo and I affirm that we did not receive containers of damaged products in Togo. It happened in a country where the authorities largely informed the population about the situation,” he said.
