Ghana: Ghana Radio: Arrests in Togo After Alleged Arms Smuggling GHANA BROADCASTING CORPORATION RADIO 1 Sunday, June 21, 1998 Reports from Togo indicate that on the eve of the presidential election, a number of political activists, mainly from opposition strongholds, were arrested on the orders of the Togolese authorities. Those arrested are alleged to have smuggled weapons across the Togo border from Ghana, with a view to fomenting violence in Togo during and after the election. Sources say Togolese political experts have expressed utter surprise and disappointment at this latest action of the authorities. Meanwhile, there are indications that the Aflao border, which was close unilaterally last Friday (19 June) by the Togolese Government, is likely to be opened to travelers tomorrow.
