About 219 People Displaced In Yendi After Raid

About 219 people have also been displaced in the Fulani communities in the Yendi Municipality of the Northern Region after these communities were raided by unknown gunmen. Some 79 houses were burnt in the disturbance. The victims are currently being housed in tents provided by the Ghana Red Cross Society. It is also unclear what
prompted the attack on these communities but some residents have attributed the incident to a reprisal attack on a robbery attack in which a Konkomba man was then killed. The eight persons who were killed were buried at the Vittin Cemetery in the Tamale over the weekend. The Northern Regional Crime Officer, Superintendent Bernard
Baba Ananga also said the Police are on the heels of the perpetrators and have closed in on them, adding that they will soon make some arrests.
