A private legal practitioner, Capt Rtd. Nkrabea Effah-Dartey, wants the 80-year-old leader and other members who attempted to declare the Volta Region an independent state to be dealt with severely by state authorities.
According to him, the group must face the full riguors of the law after describing their attempt as an “explosive move” which could have destroyed the entire nation.
“I pray that the Attorney General and the President will deal with them mercilessly,” he said in an interview with Neat FM morning show 'Ghana Montie'.
An 80-year-old leader and seven other leading members of the Volta Separatist movement have been arrested and flown to Accra by personnel from National Security.
The separatist movement in the Volta Region, the Homeland Study Group Foundation (HSGF), is a group calling for the secession of the Volta Region from Ghana.
The group claims that the Volta Region (Western Togoland) was an independent state before being made to join Ghana in a plebiscite.
The leader of the group, Mr. Charles Kormi Kudzodzi – popularly known as Papa Hogbedetor, was arrested with seven others on Sunday at one of the group’s regular study meetings.

These guys think they are smart using an 80 years old grand father as a pawn. The Volta Region was not brought by nobody than the British government and if this group wants trouble they should face theBritish and the United Nation. We don't want to createany tension but the NPP government should facilitate a route for such group to meet the British Embassy fora way out. Now Oti Region is no more a part of this saga what a good riddance.
Ah, nana addo and his government paaaaaaaa, this old man his his feeble guys by his side what can they do. They were only bragging. Arrest members of the delta and invincible forces who infiltrated the SWAT TEAM and visited mayhem on innocent Ghanaians who were going about their civil duties and leave this oldman and his children who were blowing what air. Can this ramshackle old man separate Volta region from Ghana. Effah Darteh too, he so stoupid. Does government jail suspect or the judge the decides?
What do we stand to loose if this group of people are taking out? if they want to leave please let them go Mr President.
These people always want to secede any time the NPP is in power. WHY?
