There are political elements behind a group of voltarians clamouring to secede from Ghana, Volta Regional Minister Dr Archibald Letsa has said.
“There are some political elements who attend their meetings and I wouldn’t want to disclose their identity now, but it is known to the security agencies.
“We are worried about that. It is not something we are happy about at all,” Dr Letsa told Accra-based Joy FM.
The group wants Western Togoland, which stretches from the Northern through the Upper East and Volta regions to the Gulf of Guinea, restored.
Meanwhile, the police have arrested three members of the group and intend charging them with treason.
The son of the group’s founder, Wise Kudzodzi said they are fighting for a just cause. “It is a study group and not a political party…and after studying we have realised that we are not part of Ghana and we have become Ghanaians by plebiscite and paper and ballot boxes cannot give birth to human beings so our point is that our forefathers have voted to be in union with Ghana not to be integrated into Ghana.”
