Security analyst Adam Bonaa has urged President Akufo-Addo to immediately deal with reports suggesting that the so-called separatist group Homeland Security is training a security team.

According to him, the development portends danger for the country and must not be tolerated.

“I call the president to put his foot down and let them know this cannot be tolerated. We can’t be sleeping and allow these people to put these things out there like that. If they continue like that it means in future they may recruit more than we have as a standby force in the Army. I know the President will be meeting his security chiefs when the cabinet meets on Thursday and I’m hoping this matter will be addressed,” Mr Bonaa noted on his Show Alert on Starr FM Tuesday.

Videos on social media show some men and women aligned with the group dressed in black shirts with the inscription ‘Akpoyawo, we stand firm to defend’.

“2000 Western Togoland military men and women from Gorilla military school,” a Facebook profile attached to the video noted.

Meanwhile, five members of the group have been remanded for treason felony by a Ho district Court.

This was after they were arrested following their decision to declare the Volta region independent of Ghana.

Those remanded are Peter Godfriend Edem, Mkpe Tornyi Kudjo, Kofi Agbeko, Agbenyega Akudzia and Ibrahim Tofa.

The suspects include the master of ceremony on the day the supposed independence was declared.

Reports say one of the suspects admitted before the court that he belongs to their so-called Western Togoland.
