Togo recalls ambassador

    NAIROBI

    Togolese President Gnassingbe Eyadema on Friday recalled his ambassador to the DRC, Mama Gnofang, a day after he was briefly detained by police who found a large sum of Congolese francs in the back of his car, news organisations reported. Radio France Internationale quoted a communique issued by President Eyadema as saying the decision was made “as soon as he was informed of the matter”. AFP said that Gnofang was stopped on Thursday at Ngobila port on the river Congo as he prepared to cross to Brazzaville. DRC law forbids taking national currency out of the country.
