Greater Lomé: Local Authorities Set Up Special Police Force for Bus Stations

(Togo First) - In Greater Lomé, authorities have set up a special police station to secure bus stations and restore order. Inaugurated on March 26, 2025, by the Minister of Security and Civil Protection, Calixte Batossie Madjoulba, the station is located in Golfe 5.

The new station will strengthen police presence, combat illegal migration, and dismantle informal bus stations in the region. With public transport rapidly growing in Lomé, crime levels rose as well. This new facility addresses safety challenges and ensures compliance with regulations while monitoring passenger and goods flow.

The station features a reception desk, an administrative office, and two divisions for interventions and investigations. It aims to rebuild user trust by guaranteeing security and eliminating illegal practices.

"Bus stations once symbolized development, but have become hotspots for lawlessness. This police station restores order and provides users with a safe environment," said Akatao Babarime, Director General of the National Police. 

For local authorities, setting up the new police station is a step toward safer urban mobility and better transport oversight.
