A renowned Security Expert who is also the Chief Executive Officer of Security (CEO) Warehouse Limited Adam Bonaa has claimed that some people who are seeking to take control of some natural resources in some parts of the country are influencing the agitation by a Group in the Volta region for a secession from Ghana.
He indicated that per evidence available to him, it suggests that some big gurus who are seeking to take charge of deposits of natural resources, particularly in the northern part of the country, are behind the recent activities of the secessionist group.
It can be recalled that Police in the Volta region earlier in the week arrested eleven members of the Homeland Study Group Foundation that purported to declare independence for the Volta Region and other parts of the country.
A manhunt is still on for leader of the group, octogenarian, Charles Kormi Kudzodzi.
Speaking in a recent radio submission, Adam Bonaa said the state should have been more proactive in dealing with the situation. mynewsgh report.
“I have evidence that there is a big brother sitting somewhere who seem to be fuelling this because the Volta basin is resourced. If you go to the Upper East region today there is gold and if you go to the Volta basin, there is a lot of oil. Somebody will want to create chaos so that they can take advantage of our natural resources”, he said.
According to him, the initial arrest and release of members of the group prior to their recent declaration of independence was not good enough.
He also commended steps currently being taken by the state following the arrest of some members of the group this week.
To curb such issues, Adam Bonaa further called for equitable distribution of the country’s natural resources among all regions in the country as a measure to discourage activities that may likely jeopardize the peace and security of the state while pointing to deprivation as a result of inequitable distribution of natural resources as one of the factors influencing the ideology for a secession from Ghana.
