Lt-Col OKPAOUL and its method of brutality sanctioned

 

Since the announcement of the first confirmed case of the Coronavirus pandemic in Togo, arrangements have been made. Which provisions are accentuated or come into force on 02 April 2020. These include curfews. The curfew since it was announced has claimed lives. At least three deaths to his credit. But since the ejection of the Commander-in-Chief of the Special Anti-Pandemic Force, Lieutenant-Colonel Yaovi Okpaoul, everything seems to be back to normal. No more smudging, no more murders, no more murders. Yoavi Okpaoul was the wrong pawn…

It was one of the measures that were quite criticized by the people, the rights defenders and even the opinion leaders because of its implementation. The Special Forces Anti-pandemic COVID-19 since the mentality of the Togolese armed forces has never been well received. The proof, his marks on the ground are very indelible. They are marked in red, red as the blood of the Togolese populations that this force under the leadership of Lieutenant-Colonel Yaovi Okapoul had poured.

Yaovi Okpaoul, a method of brutality

In a month-long curfew on the ground, elements under yaovi Okpaoul killed three poor citizens, ill-treated, raped and tortured many. All those who had the misfortune to cross this force testified to the inhuman and degrading conditions they were subjected to.

As the complaints became numerous, the deaths more disturbing than those caused by the Coronavirus that this force was supposed to fight, it was necessary to act differently, to remove the bad luck of the joint special force. Eject Yaovi Okpaoul, the commander of FOSAP.

Since the ejection of Lieutenant-Colonel Yaovi Okpaoul on 28 April 2020 and the taking of office of Colonel Kodjo Amana as the new boss of FOSAP, Togolese have not heard of any smudges from the Joint Special Forces Anti Pandemic COVID-19 during curfews.

Images of broken heads, punctured eyes and backs marked by ropes have not been widely used on social media. Families are no longer bereaved as they were in the Okpaoul era.

Amana brings back serenity…

In the aftermath of his taking office, Colonel Kodjo Amana preferred the de-account option unlike his predecessor. On May 1, FOSAP provided an update on its activities.

It ensured compliance with the ban on long-distance traffic, awareness of barrier actions, education and the protection of the population. The force also ensured the protection of hospitals and containment sites throughout the country, particularly those of Togolese nationals returning from Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire to Djarkpanga, Sokodé, Sotouboua, Adjengré and Lama-Tessi.

In view of all this, a finding emerges, the smudges have disappeared from the system, the mixed force has revised its copy, the orders have changed. A question arises, was the CHIEF of police Lieutenant-Colonel Yaovi Okpaoul the instigator of the many repeated bludgeoning of the force?

The question remains. Amana Kodjo, recently boss of the special presidential election force has the duty to carry out his mission and not fall into the wrongs, and other zeals of his predecessor.

The authorities must not only open an investigation to clarify the circumstances of the deaths but above all prosecute the perpetrators of these crimes and murders. If Lieutenant-Colonel Yaovi Okpaoul is responsible, he will logically answer for his actions.

The Head of State according to our information is very angry at the method of brutality of the DG of the police who did not understand that the era of security at these times is no longer that of brutality and aggression of citizens. An era he lived and practiced under Eyadéma.

The Chief Justice Officer was appointed through the leadership program offered to him by the United States of America. A month of learning about the security system in the face of respect for human rights did not allow him to apply it when he took office.

The wrath of authority

The operation of the Okpaoul method of the Director General of the National Police is brutal, aggressive and furnished with fittings we do not know for what purpose. We remember, it was he who organized the story of the summonses of alleged robbers that the witnesses denounced.

It is under his zeal that amulets and other grey-grey are presented as the body of crime of PNP activists to destabilize Togo. All this added to the brutality of the curfew has taken the Head of State out of his gongs. He asked to end the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Yaovi KPAOUL.

Since then, serenity has returned not only among Togolese populations, but also among FOSAP agents who receive less pressure in the exercise of their task. A popular jubilation would have welcomed the news of the change at the head of the body. Today, it is the position of Director General of The Police that is under threat, since there too, many things do not go with the management of Lieutenant-Colonel Okpaoul. The file would be on the table of the Head of State.  This method of brutality will cost him dearly, according to our information.
