"I want the government to show maturity" - Western Togoland leader dares

The leader of the Homeland Study Group Foundation, Charles Kormi Kudzordzi has alerted government that he is still in the country and has denied claims that he fled out of the country after declaring some parts of Ghana as independent.

The Upper East, North East, Northern Region, Oti and Volta Region were announced as self-governing and assigned the name, Western Togoland. Five members who took part in the activity were remanded for treason as a Ho District court on Wednesday, November 20, ordered the arrest of Mr. Kudzordzi after the unlawful declaration.

“I am in the country anyway, I have not travelled or hidden anywhere, but I want the government to show maturity, invite me legally through my lawyers and I will present myself for the case to continue,” he said in a video posted on social media.

“I want to the tell the government of Ghana that what has started happening is not the right thing; going round, arresting people in the streets, taking them and locking them up in cells and particularly taking my near 70year old wife and locking her up, no, that is not the right thing,” the 80-year-old leader added.
