A man who cut three people with a knife at the Embassy of Togo has been sentenced and will likely to be deported.
A judge sentenced Kokou Dzifa Bocco to time served. He has already spent more than 15 months in jail, and immigration officials are now holding Bocco, who is from Togo.
Bocco pleaded guilty and admitted that in 2009, he went to the West Affrican embassy on 2208 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, to get a passport and was told he would have to wait for a new passport. Bocco became angry, pulled out a serrated 12-inch knife and cut three people, including Charge d’Affaires Lerempo Tchabre Lanjergue, who suffered cuts on both hands.
