STC cancels all trips from Ho to Accra

A group of armed assailants suspected to be members of separatist group Western Togoland Restoration Front went on rampage at the STC Yard and beat up a driver and attacked about four buses, setting one completely ablaze.

A Ho-based journalist, Richard Asiedu, told Alfred Ocansey on 3FM’s Sunrise on Tuesday that the group marched to the bus terminal from nowhere to stage their attack, firing warning shots.

The Ho Municipal Chief Executive Officer, Prosper Bi-Pansah, said the attackers took them by surprise.

“They have taken us unaware. We heard of the vantage points they targeted, the big market and the installations.

“So we went round those areas to educate them to get prepared and gave our numbers to them that they should call us immediately they see or suspect somebody but this STC yard we didn’t come here because we didn’t know that they would attack the place.

“There is security patrols, the soldiers are patrolling the town. They might have moved from the station before the attackers came here.”
