The prosecution has put an end to the prosecution of nine people charged with treason for planning to declare parts of the Volta and Oti regions independent.
Charges were laid against nine people, including unlawful training, illegal badembly, offensive behavior conducive to breach of the peace.
They were the group's president, Charles Kormi Kudzordzi, Bisa Akorli, Kofi Dzreke, Thompson Tsigbe, Benjamin Agbadzada, Agbenyega Akudzi, Freemen Blikaku and Nkpe Tsryiri Kudzo.
The nine members of a group called the Homeland Study Group Foundation said the regions were once part of an independent state before having to join Ghana at a plebiscite.
They had fixed May 9, 2019 as the day of the declaration of independence when the security forces would have affected their arrest.
Senior prosecutor Winifred Sarpong told the court on Monday that his office had ordered him to withdraw the case. The presiding judge, Judge Jerome Nkrumah, declared the case withdrawn.
