The genus should be Copris, but I can say no more. Anyway, the "squarish" shape of horns make it particularly beautiful!

In this weeks I'm fond of the genus Copris, so I made further researches about this specimen. I believe that, despite all those horns, it is a female. I think it might well be a Copris megaceratoides Waterhouse, 1891, described (the female) in this work: the drawings and the description seem to fit quite well with your specimen. Furthermore, according to Moretto, 2007b this species occurs from Senegal to Central Africa, so it is likely to be present in Togo. Maybe with a big "cf."?
