The group has over the years been calling for parts of the Volta, Oti regions and northern Ghana be declared an independent state and named as Western Togoland. He thus cautioned against the torturing of persons proclaiming the independence of the said Western Togoland state. He said, “no such person is a threat to Ghana and should not be subjected to any form of torture”. The octogenarian leader of the group, Charles Kormi Kudzordzi also known as Papavi Hogbedetor in his new year address from his hideout encouraged his followers to exercise restraint in their activism towards the “independence of the Western Togoland”.
