Rehabilitation work on Sokodé’s former central police station was launched on Friday 16 October 2026 by Ouro-Sama Mohamed Sad, mayor of the Tchaoudjo 1 commune. The project is expected to last two months and aims to improve working conditions for law enforcement officers and the reception of users, according to 24heureinfo.

The building had been abandoned after being vandalised during the socio-political events of 2016 and 2017. Its reopening will make it possible to reuse this security facility in Sokodé, 24heureinfo reports.
