Shocking: Ablakwa Narrates How Secessionists Boldly Ambushed Police
Member of Parliament for North Tongu Constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has given chilling details of how the ‘Western Togoland’ secessionists attacked and went on a rampage in a police station in the Volta region.
Speaking on Joy News, the legislator noted that the whole coordination of the attack, which took place on September 25, 2020 around 4:40am was like a scripted Hollywood movie.
“They just distracted the police personnel on duty and swamped in in their numbers and took them hostage. They went in holding one of their own handcuffed and as the policeman tried to take their statement, the others swapped in and took over. They were many, they tell us that, there were over 70 who attacked the police station and they knew exactly what to do and where to go.”
The secessionists burnt tyres and blocked roads
He furthered that the attackers went for the armouries in the police station and stole 15 AK47 and 4 pump action guns at the Aveyime Police station, while repeating the same thing at the Mepe Police station and freeing the inmates and replacing them with the police officers who had been stripped naked. They blocked roads to prevent vehicles from moving and also removed the police flags and replaced them with Western Togoland flags.
They erected their flags at vantage points
They further managed to disarm a police reinforcement team and took their vehicles and “parade the streets with these vehicles in jubilant mood and then stopped the river sand winning vehicles, led them to the boundary between Sege and Aveyime and ordered them to offload the sand, blocked the streets and then erected their flags,” Ablakwa noted.
