The CID, our source revealed, is working on the processes to place him and other leaders of the HSGF group on Interpol red alert watchlist. The Octogenarian was earlier in May this year arrested together with 80 other members of the group when they were allegedly planning to declare independence for Western Togoland. They claimed that the Volta Region (Western Togoland) was formerly an independent state before being made to join Ghana in a plebiscite. They were arrested while holding a meeting to finalise arrangements to declare the Volta Region an independent state on May 9, 20I9. According to the prosecution, when the police intercepted their meeting, they found T-shirts with the inscriptions: “9th May is our day” and “A Citizen of Western Togoland”.
