The police has arrested one of the lawyers for some of the suspects in the Western Togoland secessionists case.

The police say, Dennis Seyram Benson is a "fake lawyer" and hence the arrest.

According to the Police, Dennis Seyram Benson who parades himself as a lawyer has been representing some of the suspects since the inception of the case.

The Police in a statement dated Thursday December 17, 2020, signed and issued by the Head of Public Affairs of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), DSP Juliana Obeng said, the demeanor of Mr Seyram Benson in court raised suspicion leading to a background check which revealed that he was a fake lawyer.

It said the 42-year-old man is currently helping the Police with investigations.
