Kotoka translates to "porcupine," but just what language I can't be certain. Seems to fit with what the stamp illustrates.

The KOTOKO-states have been city-states in the delta of the Schari river south of the lake Tschad mainly in the far north of the today Camerun, then partly in the Tschad region as in Nigeria. May be that the blade sign has to do with this KOTOKO-states.
