More 'fire' in town: Western Togoland writes to government, warns K.T. Hammond over his comments
The leadership of the Western Togoland has written to the government and national leaders expressing their displeasure and dissatisfaction about the deployment of the military forces on their land.
The security contingent which includes the military and officials of the Ghana Immigration Service been deployed into some communities along the Ghana-Togo boarder such as Wudoaba, Korpeyia and Anoenu since Monday 22, June has raised eyebrows and awoken tension among the residents in these areas.
The state of Western Togoland has penciled a letter go the national leaders to register their displeasure about the presence of the military personnel on their land that has already sparked anger between the natives of these areas. The leadership sent a stern warning to the government to withdraw these forces from their land.
The Group laments that the deployment on the northern frontiers in the wake of terrorist threats in Burkina Faso and other neighbouring countries is to achieve nothing other than intimidating people in the Volta Region which known to be the stronghold of the NDC.
The letter was signed by the Director of Bureau of National Communications of the Western Togoland.
A part of the letter reads, "Already some groups and individuals are registering their displeasure about the presence of these forces on our territory. We do not understand what might have occasioned such heavy presence since there has never been any official communique from the office of the government of Ghana to the leadership of Western Togoland before the deployment, " they indicated.
The group indicated that, they see this action by the government as an attack and show of power. They further claimed that if the government and national leaders remain adamant, then the appropriate steps would be taken. "We shall respond appropriately should there be any record of casualties," it stated.
Concluding the letter, the leaders asked the government to decipher this development for them to see make it clear if they are indeed beating war drums.

A word to the wise...."
