The Governing Council and Defense Council of the Western Togoland have announced a new task force ahead of the 2024 general elections in December.
According to the Council, the task force, which was launched on January 18, 2024, will carry out a number of assignments in order to prohibit voting in their territory.
A statement released by the separatist movement on Thursday, January 18, indicated that, the task force will implement a campaign against voting in all territories that fall within the borders of Western Togoland, investigate and document individuals who aid or collaborate with the Ghanaian government in the unlawful arrest and detention of Western Togoland activists and monitor and record comments in support of the Ghanaian government’s actions.
They have therefore cautioned their people to stay away from any gathering in the name of voting in their territory.
In addition, the leadership of the separatist movement also advised traditional leaders in the area to commit to the cause of the Western Togoland movement, asking them not to follow politicians who violate their human rights.
