Ho High Court adjourns separatists’ case to April 11
A Ho High Court has adjourned a treason case
against leading members of a secessionist group,
Homeland Study Group Foundation, to 11 April
2017.

The state prosecutor asked the court presided over
by Charles Agbevor to give the state more time to
gather enough evidence to prosecute the case, a
request the court granted.

However, a request for the court to ban members of
the group from wearing T-shirts with the
inscription “9th May is Our Day” was
declined.

It would be recalled that the Homeland Study Group
Foundation has, in the last one year, been
campaigning for the separation of the Volta region
and parts of Northern and Upper East regions to
form the Western Togoland state, which they claim
existed before independence in 1957.

The group circulated T-shirts on which were
written 9th May is Our Day. They were arrested on
Wednesday 8 March and charged with treason.

Western Togoland, according to the group, was
established as a country in 1922 and stretches
from the Northern through the Upper East and Volta
regions to the Gulf of Guinea.
