Having declared independence of the Western Togoland state, the group said it will now head to the UN to seek validation.
This was disclosed by the Spokesperson for HSGF, George Nyakpo, in an interview with Accra-based Starr FM.
Earlier this year, the leader of the group, Charles Komi Kudzordzi alias Papavi Hogbedetor, was arrested and detained.
However, the Attorney General's Department later dropped all charges against him and eight others members of the separatist group.
It remains to be seen what the Ghana government’s next line of action would be after the latest declaration of independence of the Western Togoland.
