Some young people in Tamale have gathered to voice their disagreement about the Inspector General's Special Operations Team leaving the Northern Region. This team, commonly called the Black Maria, was put in place last year.
The team was deployed to help manage a rise in robberies and other criminal activities in the area. Residents of the Northern Region have expressed that the team's presence made them feel more secure.
The youth who protested are unhappy that the police team will no longer be in their region. They believe its absence could lead to a return of crime problems.
The specific reasons for the recall of the Special Operations Team were not immediately available from the Ghana Police Service.
The protest aims to draw attention to the community's feelings about the security situation.
Officials have not yet officially responded to the protest or the residents' concerns about the team's departure.
The continued presence of security forces is important for maintaining peace and order in any community.
Further details regarding the team's deployment and future operations are awaited.
