The 66 Artillery Regiment of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), National Security and the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) have arrested 14 secessionist suspected to be linked to the separatist Homeland Study Group Foundation (HSGF) at Kpando Aziavi in the Volta Region.
The suspects were arrested by the joint team of officers on Saturday.
The Second in Command of the 66 Artillery Regiment, Major Jalali Din Ibrahim, briefing the media explained their operation was championed by an intelligence they gathered indicating some people were engaged in a meeting to discuss issues pertaining to the secessionist group.
The 14 persons have so far been handed over to the Volta Regional Police Command.
The Homeland Study group led by their Chairman, Charles Kormi Kudzodzi known as Papavi Hogbedetor have over the years been planning to part ways with Ghana to form their own country which is the Western Togoland.
The Leader of the group, Charles Kormi Kudzodzi, on November 16, 2019, declared independence for the ‘Western Togoland’ territory.
The group again on 6th March, 2020 replaced the flag of Ghana with theirs at the Volta Regional Coordinating Council in Ho.
The Ghana security services meanwhile, continue to foil plans of the group by arresting suspected members who engage in activities to champion the cause of the group.
