Deputy Minister of Interior, Major (retired) Derrick Oduro, has described the Homeland Study Group Foundation, a separatist movement as highly dangerous.
Slamming the group’s supposed declaration of ‘Western Togoland’ as an independent State, Major Derrick Oduro stressed that Ghana remained a sovereign state, which has not ceded any part of its territory to any person or group of persons, hence the group should be disregarded.
He said Ghana is a peaceful country and such actions by such groups could bring about a civil war in the country.
“We need to stop these people before they bring chaos into the country. Anytime there is such movement in other countries, war and bloodshed is what we see so we cannot have such people in our country, it is tantamount to treason,” he said on Accra-based Neat FM, monitored by Adomonline.com.
