Togo: Government Issues Public Warning after Mass Fish Death in Lomé Basin

(Togo First) - The government of Togo urges citizens to stay alert after discovering many dead fish in the Todman water retention basin in Lomé. 

Health officials received the alert on Saturday, May 3, 2025, and promptly removed and incinerated the fish. 

The Ministry of Health is conducting chemical and microbiological tests to determine the exact cause of the mass fish death. Authorities strongly advise people to avoid eating these fish because they risk vomiting, poisoning, colic, and other food-related illnesses.
