Togo operates zero tolerance on drugs  
 

Police in Togo are cracking down on drug traffickers and implementing a policy of zero tolerance.

Last month, $24m worth of narcotics was seized by the Togolese security forces and destroyed.

Drug trafficking through Africa is not a new phenomena, however, west Africa is increasingly becoming a hub for smuggling narcotics because of inadequate policing.

The small nation of Togo is battling a rise in drug-related crimes.
