Head of Operations of Forestry Commission, Charles Owusu has called on the security agencies to lawfully deal with the Western Togoland secession group.

Members of the secessionist group on Friday, September 25, 2020 blocked major roads in Volta Region, leaving passengers traveling to areas in the Region stranded.

The group also attacked Police stations at Aveyime and Mepe amidst demands for the Volta Region to be an autonomous country known as "Western Togoland".

They want to become a sovereign nation but their action, according to law, is treasonable.

Speaking on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' programme, Charles Owusu called on the security agencies to exercise the laws of the land.

To him, the Western Togoland secessionists have been pampered for too long and it's about time they were made to face the full rigors of the law.

"The security agencies in the country must step up their game. We should let them know there are laws in the country. The law must be exercised on them; we shouldn't play around them . . . The National Security should up their game," he told host Kwami Sefa Kayi.
