The suspects who appeared before the court yesterday, October 7, are facing six counts of conspiracy, stealing, causing unlawful damage and participating in meeting organized by a prohibited group.
Per daily guide’s reports, the court remanded the five after their appeal to secure a bail failed.
They are to reappear on October 21 while police continue investigations into the matter.

This according to them was part of their agitations for independence from Ghana after they declared independence for the territory they call ‘Western Togoland’ on November 16, 2019.
Over 60 people have been arrested so far and trial has began in court.
Political parties and other shareholders have all condemned the actions of the separatists.
