The incident which happened at the Ho Civic Centre at the intercity STC yard has heightened the presence of security forces in the area.

It is currently unclear if the perpetrators are members of the Western Togoland Restoration Front.

This latest incident comes just days after some 31 suspects alleged to be secessionists were remanded by an Accra Circuit Court into BNI custody for two weeks.
