A sub-chief of the Shai Osudoku Traditional Area, Nene Tawiah Agblom II who was arrested by the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) after he was suspected of having a hand in the secessionist attacks in the Volta region, has pleaded guilty to charges labeled against him.
According to the Dailyguide Newspaper, the chief admitted that he was guilty, however, with explanation.
In his explanation he told the court presided over by judge, Susan Eduful that“It is true that NEC met and said we must block the road to create awareness to the world, and that there is discrimination going on against Ewes and the removal of our names from voters register.”
The judge before remanding him after his explanation, entered a plea of not guilty. The prosecution noted that, before the recent attacks, the chief and other members of the alleged secessionists met to plan and he “took minutes of line of action planned and incited the other accused persons who took to the streets, blocked the Juapong-Accra main road amid burning of lorry tyres and firing of guns.”
