The police have arrested eight persons belonging to the Homeland Study Group Foundation aimed at seceding from Ghana to declare Volta region as an independent state.
They were arrested in Ho on Sunday in “a meeting to finalise arrangements to declare independent Western Togoland on 9th May, 2019”, a police statement said.
“The arrest was made by a team of all the intelligence agencies in Ghana, including Police and the Armed Forces,” police spokesperson ASP Simon Tenkuu said in a statement.
The team also seized a purported constitution of the group, and “anthem prepared by these eight persons and others for their supposed country.”
The statement added: “Activities of the group also include illegally recruiting and training young people in a “militia style” for them to form the core of their supposed country’s armed forces and police force.”
“Police Administration assures the public that any person who is found culpable of wrongdoing would be dealt with according to law and is therefore urging the public to volunteer information on the group, its leaders and members to police. Persons with information may report to the nearest Police Station or call toll free on 191 or 18555,” the statement added.
In July 2017, the leadership of the group was arrested for allegedly inciting people to push for the independence of the Volta region so it becomes a country on its own. They were released on bail.

I personally agreed with them Nothing can move in Nature without any Force settings in Motion. They are ***barred word*** Fed up with so called governments
At your age you still want secession? Will you live to see the struggle and the pains involved before you go? Go and eat ***barred word*** and stop this ***barred word***.
***barred word***, have you ever seen two ants at war before? Go and ask Ojukwu and Gowon before you try anything ***barred word***. Find out how they survived that 13 months wars. Look for the history and the pictures. Crickets, pack your loads and run to Togo that’s where you belong. We blame Nkrumah who brought you people like you from Togo to Ghana.
No problem. Let them carryout their plans. After the declaration everybody holding a position in any institution in Ghana would be sacked from office because they are non Ghanaians. Nsem hunu aaa kwa. Come to the Western region and see how we have been neglected despite many resources that sustains Ghana's economy coming from that area. Yet we are not planning of declaring independence. Annoying.
Oh! Envy, tribalism, and selfishness would kill many people from the Volta Region.
