Security Analyst Adam Bona is urging the National security to take keen interest in the aftermath of the death of Charles Komi Kudzordzi a.k.a Papavi who has been leading the Secessionist movement Homeland Study Group Foundation to form an independent nation Western Togoland.
He is believed to be 88 years old.
He was arrested for treason together with some of his members but later granted bail due to old age and health issues.
This was the second time members of the group had been arrested in a similar fashion.
According to the police, it gathered sufficient evidence including a constitution, national emblem and anthem prepared by the eight arrested persons and others for their supposed new country.
In September 2020, the leadership of the group organized a riot and blocked two major roads at Juapong and attacked drivers at State Transport Corporation.
On September 25, the group dressed in Western Togoland T-shirts and armed with guns and cutlasses, went amok and blocked roads. They burnt lorry tyres in the middle of the roads and prevented people from accessing it as well as raided police stations at Mepe, Aveyime and other parts of the Volta region.
The incident was condemned by many including former President John Dramani Mahama and traditional chiefs.
Although residents in the region believes his death will bring the age old conversation on the Western Togoland to an end.
Security Analyst Adam Bona says some people may take advantage of the death of Papavi and begin to spread radical separatist ideas in the region.
He called on the security agencies to take note of the situation.
