Secessionists Appear Before Court in Ghana – 8th May

Eight members of the ‘Homeland Study Group’ who were arrested for trying to start a secessionist movement in the Volta Region in Ghana, will appear before court in Accra. The suspects will likely be charged with conspiracy to commit treason, unlawful training and assembly and offensive conduct conducive to a breach of peace.

The suspects were arrested last Sunday in the Volta Region and airlifted to Accra. They had just finished a meeting in a building adjacent to the Ho Royal Hospital when police arrested them following intelligence gathered by the security agencies.

The members of the group were identified as Charles K. Kudzordzi, 85, the group leader, Benjamin Agbodzagah, 48; Nipple Tonye Kudzo, 61 and Agbenyagah Akudzi, 54.

The rest are Thompson Taught, 58; Kofi Dzreke, 54; Freeman Bilaku, 36 and Bisa Akorli.
