Non-Governmental Organization ‘Citizen Eye Ghana’ (CITEG) wants government to pass a law to allow the Western Togoland their ‘freedom’ as a country.
 
The CEO of the group, Mr. Alex Kweku Tetteh explains that their separation from Ghana will compel President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to “layoff all Voltarians” occupying state office.
 
“President Nana Addo should accept their separation so Ghana can treat all Voltarians in Ghana as real foreigners. All Voltarians occupying government positions must be forced to resign as well. This will end their rubbish and that will also affect the NDC,” he said in an interview with Peacefmonline.com.
  
The Volta Region on Friday, September 25, 2020, was thrown into a state of chaos as members of a secessionist group, seeking the independence of the area to become the Western Togoland, staged spontaneous attacks in various parts of the region.

The attacks included blocking major entry points to the region as well as attacks on the Aveyime and Mepe police stations all in the North Tongu District.

“We are seeking independence of our great motherland,” one of the separatists told journalists after they also blocked roads in Juapong.
