The Chief Operating Officer of the Forestry Commission, Charles Owusu, has scolded President Nana Akufo-Addo and his government for the revolt in West Togo.
According to him, the government is toying with the separatist group that carried out attacks in the Volta region amid demands to become an autonomous country.
Speaking with host Kwami Sefa Kayi at Peace FM’s “Kokrokoo”, Charles Owusu expressed his disappointment at the government for not using the necessary force to instill discipline in the separatists.
Secession of Western Western Togo
Days ago, some secessionist group carried out separate attacks in the Volta region.
The group on Friday, September 25, attacked some police stations in the Volta Region and blocked roads in the Region, preventing the movement of people and vehicles.
The group subsequently carried out an arson attack against the State Transportation Corporation (STC) in the Region on Tuesday, September 29.
Some weapons belonging to some members of the police personnel were also said to have been seized, all in protest against the Government of Ghana amid demands that it become an autonomous country called “Western Togoland”.
Police have reportedly detained more than 30 suspects in connection with the attacks.
Charles Owusu registers disgust
Charles Owusu says he is not satisfied with the way the government is handling the issue.
He wondered why the Speaker of Parliament has not yet summoned the Minister of National Security to the House to address the issue.
” I think the government is playing too much with them. We should act quickly to solve the problem … I suggest that Parliament summon the Minister of National Security … They should call him; come and inform the country. What happened? Why?”
He charged the government to stop treating the group with child gloves.
“Supposing that they had embarked on a shooting in the city when they confiscated the weapons from the police, what would have been the fate of the country? To the extent that they managed to kidnap three policemen and also injured the district or divisional commander who is currently He is admitted to the hospital. Why couldn’t we reinforce security in numbers within that area? ” he questioned.
