The Ghana Police Service says 59 suspects, including two women, have been detained by the court since the first attacks in the Volta region on Friday 25 September by secessionists.

Furthermore, a person who was on the police wanted list for attacking the Aveyime police station has also been arrested.

According to the police, he was arrested in Adzasika near Mafi Kumase in the Volta region on October 5.

The suspect led police to a bush where he extracted firearms and ammunition that he stole during the attack on the police station.

This follows a simultaneous attack launched by a secessionist group on two police stations in Aveyime and Mepe as part of their activities to claim parts of the Volta region as western Togo.

Subsequently, another group attacked the Ho STC yard and burned two of the 11 buses parked in the yard.

The police have urged calm and assured Ghanaians that they have the situation under control.

Meanwhile, the government says that secessionist groups and their activities will not be tolerated in the country despite suggestions to treat them amicably.
