Western Togolanders want to destroy the country if care not taken-Peace Council Chair

The Chairman of the National Peace Council, Prof. Emmanuel Asante has described the actions of the Western Togoland Secessionist group as unfortunate after they blocked major roads to towns in the Volta Region claiming independence.

According to him, such actions risk putting the country into unrest while creating confusion among citizens.                                                                                                      He added that, Ghana needs peace at a time like this when the nation is preparing for elections, fighting Covid-19 pandemic with its antecedents of economic meltdown.

The group of armed men, numbering about 50, in the early hours of Friday forcibly took over both stations simultaneously; overpowering the police officers and making away with the weapons in the armoury.                                                                                                                  The group at Mepe after hoisting a Western Togoland flag joined their colleagues at the Aveyime Police Station, seized two police vehicles, and injured an officer.                                  

The leadership of the Western Togoland separatists later ordered the immediate exit of all Ghanaian security forces from the Volta Region.
