He urged the security to expedite the screening of the suspects and free up the innocent ones for them to reconnect with ‘worried’ families.
“Those who were arrested are not the ones who carried out the act on Friday. Those people were wearing khakis and jackets but none of those who were arrested wore those things. The information available to me is that five people from my constituency have also been arrested. There’s a young girl among those arrested, her father has been crying. The girl sells rubber products”.
“The security should screen the people and ensure that those arrested who are traders are freed. Then those who they think by their reports and appearance played roles in the attacks then they can proceed and deal with them.
Over thirty suspected members of the separatist group were on Friday arrested and airlifted to Accra to assist in investigations into the onslaught on two police posts in the Volta Regions.

Reports say the separatists have now splinted into three groups but share the common aim of seceding from Ghana.
