They didn't stop there. Some of the members attacked police stations in Mepe and Aveyime in the Volta Region. Injuring the policemen on duty, they also took away weapons and a police vehicle.

“They naked the police officers on duty, took their weapons, and locked them in the cells before breaking into the armoury,” an eye witness stated.

The vehicle was fully occupied by hoodlums holding guns, chanting war songs and jubilating.

“We’re free…we’re free forever,” the group said in the video.

The group later raised the Western Togoland flag and joined their colleagues at the Aveyime Police Station in the police vehicle and injured an officer.

Led by Papavi Horgbedetor, the group wants an independence for the Volta Region and a name change to Western Togoland.
