The State Transport Corporation (STC) has had one of its minibuses burnt by unknown persons at Ho, the Volta Regional Capital.

According to a report sighted by YEN.com.gh on the verified Facebook handle of renowned journalist, Israel Laryea, a number of drivers at the station were assaulted.

This follows last Friday’s attack blamed on secessionists calling themselves by different forms of identifications.

On September 25, 2020, the nation woke up to the trending news of several routes to the Volta Region getting blocked by members of the different secessionist groups.

They were believed to have belonged to one of the Western Togoland Group and the Homeland Study Group Foundation organizations.
