An Accra Circuit Court has discharged 32 people alleged to have participated in secessionist activities intended to break away parts of the Volta Region from Ghana.
This was after the prosecutor, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Sylvester Asare, had withdrawn the charges against them and asked the court to discharge them.
They were, however, not allowed to leave the court and were subsequently whisked away by security officials.
It was not immediately clear why they were whisked away.
They had originally been provisionally charged with conspiracy, treason felony, participating in the campaign of a prohibited organisation, causing unlawful damage and rioting with weapons.
